WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The Barrow Group inaugurates its newly completed 99-seat theatre with the premiere of David Edgar's Pentecost.

A clash of cultures ensues as a series of events leads to the discovery that an Arab painted the Fresco about 800 years prior to Giotto's work, indicating that Western art and culture sprang from the Middle East.

That local debut has come thanks to The Barrow Group, whose d[...]
