Additional information:
'Stewart James Barham's fun loving Sir John has a wonderful, vibrant energy'. Paul Dunn, South Shields News

'Stewart James Barham has a self-deprecating humour that gels well with the audience'. James T Harding, Edinburgh Evening News

Just completed a 3 week run of Brighton Fringe Show 'The Cock and Tail Inn 2' which has won Best Comedy at Brighton Fringe 2012

'Strong, characterful performance was given by Stewart James Barham as the over exuberant Sir John Middleton drawing laughter from the audience'.Linda Hutton, The Public Reviews, Worthing


'We were hugely impressed with Stewart's ability to quickly grasp and embody the character. He brought a lot of humour to the role and we look forward to working with him in the future!!' Val Aviv

'Stuart (sic) Barham’s King Duncan then Macduff begins with appropriate stateliness though his Macduff latterly gains cubits bouncing off Robin Hodges as Malcolm and Kristiansen as Ross, and even more Gurney Randall’s Macbeth. Barham’s quieter nuances aren’t yet quite as even as his louder ones and though shouting is often a refuge, here Barham manages a convincing rationale for his outburst, calibrating it up by vocal ratchets for the ice-cold Malcolm’s testing of him. When he has to dispute it like a man as well as feel it, you see Barham rise to his Macbeth-slaying stature.' Simon Jenner (Fringe Review)

'Stewart Barham’s role as Demetrius is always that of more snarl, less matinee to clean-cut Lysander; Barham delivers a less genteel, gnarled suitor, ‘I’d rather feed his carcass to my hounds’ he blasts of his love rival and his hinted brutishness contrasts fitly'.Simon Jenner (Fringe Review)

'Stewart Barham as an exasperated Demetrius had the audience riveted'. Phillipa Hammond (Sussex Playwrights)

'Barham, the Ephesus Dromio , enjoys a complete identification with this kind of role: whether whining, flinching farting or floundering under a kick of instance, Barham’s facial expressions and physical contortions are remarkable. He made an indelible impression last year (Midsummer Nigh's Dream) and does so again. His Dromio... puckish and sprightly Stewart Barham.' Simon Jenner (Fringe Review)

'Barham brings stillness, poise and agony to his Brutus, essential for the role. He’s clear, thoughtful, not easily moved to action. You believe in his bleak iteration of revolt.' (Simon Jenner, Fringe Review 2021)

'Best Performer' for film, High Water at Hastings Rocks Film Festival 2023
