bristololdvic.org.uk | 0117 987 7877

Welcome We’ve been so happy to hear the response to the work staged since spring.

Over 42,000 people, including nearly 7,000 new bookers, have filled Bristol Old Vic with joy for shows including Pride & Prejudice* (*sort of), Kathy & Stella Solve a Murder!, and most recently, cheeky little brown and Choir Boy. And there’s much more to come, including Arabian Nights and Four Seasons which will charm you and your families this festive season. Plus, you’re invited to dance your way into 2024 at our friendly, all-inclusive New Year’s Eve House Party, filling the entire front of house with great live music, entertainment, food, drink and laughter!

Hidden Voices connect several shows this season. We’re delighted to be producing Gareth Farr’s new play, A Child of Science. Directed by Matthew Dunster and with a cast that includes Tom Felton, the play charts the quite staggering invention of IVF in the 1970s, unearthing some of the many lost stories of women who gave their bodies over to its development. Nanny, a new comedy about two nursery workers trying to establish their voices as a comic double-act premieres in The Weston Studio. In The Glass Menagerie a family can’t say what needs to be said to each other in an intense, acclaimed new production from Atri Banerjee.

Because we’d love you to visit more often, Bristol Old Vic remains committed to affordable tickets – see page 10 for more info. Consider joining as a Member for the first choice of seats, higher discounts, and to support our continued and extensive community work across Bristol – see page 20.

We’re open most days from first thing, so if you just want somewhere friendly and warm to hang out with a great cup of coffee, know that you’re welcome to come on in anytime.

See you soon!

7 – 11 MAY THEATRE AAAA “Stylish, wild, gloriously romantic” The Independent

Atri Banerjee’s acclaimed production of Tennessee Williams’ semiautobiographical masterpiece, first seen at the Royal Exchange Theatre, returns starring Geraldine Somerville (Gosford Park) as Amanda.

Tom escapes a suffocating home life through cigarettes and long visits to the movies while his sister, Laura, withdraws into her records and collection of glass animals. But their mother, Amanda, harbours dreams for them far beyond their shabby apartment. When Tom brings home a potential suitor for Laura, Amanda seizes the opportunity to try and change their fortunes forever.

5 JUN – 6 JUL* THEATRE In 1978, Patrick Steptoe, Robert Edwards, and Jean Purdy changed the world as we know it – and most people don’t even know their names.

Bruntwood Prize-winning writer (Britannia Waves the Rules) Gareth Farr’s brilliant new play tells their pioneering story, and those of the army of women from all over the UK whose immense bravery helped them achieve the impossible – to create human life in vitro.

A Child of Science charts the incredible events that led to one of the most remarkable medical breakthroughs of our time: the birth of a baby girl and the creation of IVF, a procedure which has supported the birth of over 12 million babies worldwide over the last forty years.

Directed by the highly acclaimed West End director Matthew Dunster (Hangmen, 2:22 A Ghost Story, Shirley Valentine) and featuring the award-winning Tom Felton (Harry Potter), A Child of Science is about determination, dreams, hope, and courage. It’s a celebration of life.

AAAA “Gritty, well researched... a real tour de force” WhatsOnStage on Britannia Waves the Rules

*Stage Talk to be confirmed – stay tuned!

A Child of Science is a fictionalised account of the true story of the events that led to the first ‘test-tube’ birth of a baby and the invention of IVF. The play is based on research and interviews over many years with embryologists and fertility doctors, some of whom worked closely with Bob Edwards, as well as those whose lives were affected by and enabled by those events. It features characters inspired by real-life individuals, and some entirely imagined by the writer.

HALF TERM, EASTER AND 14 – 17 FEB

THE WESTON STUDIO

A story of unexpected friendship told through physical comedy and dance.

An old, hard-working farmer lives alone. One day, a baby clown bounces off a passing circus train and is separated from family and friends. A little reluctantly at first, the farmer takes the clown in and, as time passes, they discover that by being with each other, they find something new in themselves.

Adapted from the charming picture-book by Marla Frazee, this wordless, heartwarming show is accompanied by an original live score.

For ages 3+ but suitable for all the family.

Zog and his Flying Doctor crew, Princess Pearl and Sir Gadabout, tend to a sunburnt mermaid, a unicorn with an extra horn and a lion with the flu. However, Pearl’s uncle, the King, has other ideas about whether princesses should be doctors, and she’s soon locked up in the castle!

With help from some friends (and half a pound of cheese), can Pearl make her uncle better and prove princesses can be doctors too?

Based on Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s bestselling sequel, Freckle Productions brings the creative team behind Zog back together for this truly modern take on the classic fairy tale.

LE NAVET BETE PRESENTS

Camelot is in trouble.

King Arthur knows that if he doesn’t turn things around, this civilisation will be forgotten, and be known as nothing more than a rather dull time in British history. But when three hapless squires approach him about changing that legacy… a legend is born.

Teaming up with one of UK theatre’s best comedy writers and directors, John Nicholson (Peepolykus), the award-winning Le Navet Bete (Treasure Island, The Three Musketeers, Dracula: The Bloody Truth) are back with a brand-new laugh-out-loud show.

SPRING IN THE STUDIO

22 FEB – 9 MAR THE WESTON STUDIO

Struggling at the beginning of his medical transition, a young trans man drops out of university and returns to his quiet hometown. He doesn’t quite recognise himself yet… until he catches a midnight screening of Frankenstein.

At last, when he looks into the monster’s eyes, staring down at him from the screen, he feels seen.

Dear Young Monster is Pete MacHale’s debut solo show pulling apart fear, otherness, and what it means to embrace being the monster that the world keeps telling you that you are.

SPRING IN THE STUDIO THE ROARING GIRL

‘A roaring girl whose notes till now never were, shall fill with laughter our vast theatre.

Would you hear her name?

She is call’d mad Moll; her life, our acts proclaim.’

Meet Moll Cutpurse, the Governess of the City’s underworld. Often seen sporting men’s breeches, she exists outside the rules of Jacobean society.

10 – 13 JAN THE WESTON STUDIO

Sebastian wishes to marry a woman of lower social ranking, but his father forbids the match. In desperate need, he turns to Moll to hatch a plan, and, inevitably, chaos ensues.

In this adaptation of Thomas Dekker and Thomas Middleton’s Jacobean comedy, Young Company will expose the secrets and suggestions hidden in the text, and imagine a world where power is shared.

Piaf charts her rise from the Paris streets to become one of the most popular performers in the world and its highest paid star, featuring her greatest songs performed with a live band.

1 DEC – 7 JAN THE WESTON STUDIO AAAAA “Captivating” The Stage on Little Bulb’s The Night that Autumn Turned to Winter

A theatrical love letter to nature for children and families.

We begin in Winter, where frost crunches underfoot, icy winds blow, and snow is softly falling all around. Much of nature seems to be asleep.

But somewhere, preparations for something truly wonderful are underway.

Join our intrepid team of magical gardeners as they tend to the marvellous menagerie of flora and fauna at every stage of nature’s miraculous journey.

Four Seasons is a celebration of the wonder and weirdness of nature and our place within it, all set to an exciting score of seasonally inspired tracks including, of course, Vivaldi’s iconic piece.

Expect an enchanting and innovative show featuring puppetry, physical theatre and clowning fun – everything we’ve come to expect from Olivier Award-winning Little Bulb (Hibernation, CBEEBIES’ The Nutcracker).

THEATRE

In their first new show since 2019, Frantic Assembly and Lemn Sissay OBE collaborate on this thrilling new adaptation of Kafka’s Metamorphosis.

Combining the fluidity and lyricism of Sissay’s adaptation and Frantic’s uncompromising physicality, this promises to be an unmissable retelling of Franz Kafka’s shocking tale of cruelty and kindness; a visceral and vital depiction of humans struggling within a system that crushes them under its heel.

The Macbeths want what they believe to be theirs: the crown.

How long will it take a struggling and divided society to fight back against the ever-turning wheel of violence and power?

29 FEB – 30 MAR* THEATRE Fingers on buzzers! Here’s your Starter for Ten… What is 18-year-old Brian Jackson’s proudest achievement to date? His A-level results. His idol? Kate Bush. His lifelong dream? To compete on legendary TV quiz show University Challenge. It’s 1985 and, leaving Southend to start his first year at Bristol University, Brian soon discovers that falling in love and growing up take a lot more than general knowledge…

Adapted from the hilarious novel by bestselling author David Nicholls and the cult 2006 film, Starter for Ten is a bright, big-hearted new musical.

Featuring an irresistible original soundtrack inspired by the riotous student scene of the 80s, this coming-of-age comedy is about love, belonging and the all-important difference between knowledge and wisdom.

The book and lyrics are co-written by Emma Hall and Charlie Parham, with a 1980s-inspired original score and lyrics by Hatty Carman and Tom Rasmussen. Directed by Charlie Parham.
