Shhh...
The Secret Theatre Company was formed in 1997; the founder members being, Katherine Kelly (Coronation Street's Becky Grainger), Keith Clifford (Last of the Summer Wine's Billy Hardcastle) and John Kelly, Barnsley based playwright and broadcaster.
The company presented a twenty week tour of John Kelly's play, 'Randles Scandals' - a biographical play covering the life and death of Frank Randle. Randle was, until his death in 195?, one of Britain's foremost comic actors... and certainly it's most notorious!
In 1999 the company became found a permanent home in Barnsley's Lamproom Theatre and, having become Barnsley's Secret Theatre Company it has continued to produce in-house productions in The Lamproom and regional tours.
Barnsley's Secret Theatre Company, in association with The Lamproom Theatre, are producing 'The English Mystery Plays' by John Kelly at Monk Bretton Priory and are planning a regional theatre tour of John Kelly's play, 'Sparkies' in 2010.
