Description

Barracking imagines the inner walls of the modern-day debate chamber, and what it takes to get yourself inside. Centred around Greta, Robbie and Andrew – three members of a student debate team – the play takes a look at the wealthy elite: a club that operates on an invite-only basis, with no exceptions.

Convincing, gripping portrayal of politics around and within a university debating team by these young actors.

Enjoyable & compelling production.
Insightful commentary on the subject matter but more importantly, the characters felt so real.

A beautifully written political comedy with impactful home truths under its laughs (of which there are many). Wonderfully acted and considerately directed, this play successfully tackles its themes without reducing the characters to stereotypes. A 45 minute show that packs a real punch in such a short time! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A really well acted show, on a very thought provoking topic. Sprinkled with some humour throughout, the show presents the very meaningful topic in a very well done manner.

A truly well acted piece of Theatre at this years Edinburgh Fringe starring 3 wonderful young actors as they meet at an event and get together with ideas for the Debating hall in order to win, succeed and come out on top even if they jeopardise friendships in a team to get things their own way but we won't give too much away
Go see this show and see for yourself and you will love it as much as we did
A well acted show performance gets a well earned 5 Stars ☆☆☆☆☆
