What is BACCES?
BACCES is a non-profit charitable organisation which was originally set up in 1970 by two British European Airways (BEA) stewards who wrote a comedy review and staged it at York House in March 1971, Twickenham, UK for two nights. It was so popular that it ran for a further three sell out nights at Chiswick Town Hall. The national press heard of this venture and prompted "Jak" of the Evening Standard to publish a cartoon lampooning the efforts of BA cabin crew. Since that time the company have been producing reviews and, more recently, and to great acclaim, pantomimes in aid of national and local charities. The company writes, directs and produces the whole show with very little help from outside sources.
We are a multi-award winning society, most recently becoming the NODA district award winners for Best Programme; Best Poster; Best Performance in a Pantomime – Richard Hickman and the It’s Behind You Award for Best Pantomime. We will now go into the 2023 London Regional Awards, which are being held in June.
