Episodes from the life of Bill Barclay, a man meandering through the mundanity of middle-age

The Atlantic Voice is proud to present its first-ever all-original scripted production, When In Foam – episodes from the life of Bill Barclay, a middle-class man of indeterminate middle-age.

Married to Heather, and step-father to her two teenage daughters, Caroline and Emma, Bill works at a distribution company alongside his younger colleague, Jaden. But tiring of the middle-management life, Bill decides to quit and become a barista at his local coffee shop – “Foam and Fare.”

With Zeff voicing Bill and Eric playing a myriad of customers and other characters, When In Foam stars Erin Granfield (for info click here) as Heather, while Marika Countouris (for info click here) plays head barista Danielle and some other characters across the show. Also around are Richard Spencer as Bill’s friend Jaden, and Dino D’Agata, who voices Foam’s owner Sam, as well as DF in Episode 3 and the music teacher in Episode 4.

When In Foam’s theme song “Miracle” was written just for the show by Stella Schindler and Dave Ries, and performed by their band Kentucky Avenue (for info click here).

On this Episode, Bill goes to his local coffee-shop Foam, not for a libation but to look for a living (ooh, more alliteration). Anyway….. is he really cut from service-industry cloth? Do you know your ristretto from your cortado? And should men of indeterminate middle age be wearing rock band t-shirts? It’s Episode 2 of When In Foam, simply titled “When in Foam!”
