A big autumn opens for us tomorrow evening, Tuesday, 2 October, with our regular meeting at Bristol Old Vic. Wednesday, 24 October then sees our debut Scratch Nights event aboard the Lightship Theatre in Bathurst Basin — learn more below…
Tuesday, 2 October at 8pm: Open Workshop
Tonight’s meeting at Bristol Old Vic features work by Euphoria Kew.
Enter the theatre via the Stage Door off Queen Charlotte Street, BS1 4HJ, and go straight to the workshop in the Rehearsal Room on the second floor — please ask BOV staff if you need directions to the meeting. Everyone attending pays £2.
Euphoria’s stage play The Strangers’ Case is the story of two young Londoners who become refugees in their own country. A few days before starting university, Heather and Daniel embark on the greatest adventure of their lives — the virgin test of time-travel technology. Hoping to glimpse the world of the future, they instead stumble upon a family secret that leaves them facing a tragic choice — risk almost certain death or never return home again.
