Urinetown
In the not-so-distant future, a terrible water shortage and 20-year drought has led to a government ban on private toilets and a proliferation of paid public toilets, owned and operated by a single megalomaniac company: the Urine Good Company.
If the poor don’t obey the strict laws prohibiting free urination, they’ll be sent to the dreaded and mysterious “Urinetown.” After too long under the heel of the malevolent Caldwell B. Cladwell, the poor stage a revolt, led by a brave young hero, fighting tooth and nail for the freedom to pee “wherever you like, whenever you like, for as long as you like, and with whomever you like.”
A brilliant satire modeled off the plays of Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht, Urinetown is a wickedly funny, fast-paced, and surprisingly intelligent comedic romp.

Company
Stephen Sondheim’s Company explores the complexities of relationships, love, and the elusive nature of happiness in modern life. In this iconic musical, we follow Bobby, a single man living in New York City, as he navigates a web of friendships, romantic entanglements, and his own growing sense of loneliness. Surrounded by a group of married couples and engaged friends, Bobby is forced to confront his own fears about commitment and connection.
With a series of sharp, witty songs and unforgettable characters, Company is a deeply insightful look at the challenges and contradictions of being in a relationship - or avoiding one. At once comic and poignant, the show features classic Sondheim numbers like "Being Alive," "The Ladies Who Lunch," and "Side by Side by Side," and offers a powerful reflection on what it means to live in the company of others.
A timeless exploration of modern love, Company asks: can you truly find happiness alone - or is it only through the messiness of human connection that we discover what we really need?
To find out more about being involved in Company, please come to the launch night at the Pavilion at Ingleside House on Monday, November 18th, 2024!

Who are
we?
Theatre Ink and COS Productions have come together to perform shows at the Barn Theatre. The groups have been performing side by side for 8 years, constantly evolving and growing closer, and now, within our ‘memberships’, there are many who are involved with both. The next natural step is to bring this relationship even closer by forming one theatre group.
Theatre Ink has grown into one of the top amateur groups in the area, celebrating 10 successful years, and expands its reach in to Swindon. COS is a long established award-winning group, with a 68 year history, embedded in the Cirencester town. Both groups share audiences and cast members.
It is important to us that we keep our members and supporters with us. We want to ensure we continue to appeal to those who support Theatre Ink and those who support COS Productions, as one group we will continue to perform at The Barn Theatre giving our shared audience the opportunity to attend top quality shows that we promise to continue to pour our hearts and passion in to producing.
