Bristol Theatre
From a producing-house heritage institution to contemporary circus and improv, Bristol treats performance broadly.
Bristol theatre does not stop at drama. This collection runs from Bristol Old Vic's heritage main stage through Tobacco Factory's contemporary independent programme to Circomedia's physical theatre and circus and The Wardrobe's comedy and improv — a city that reads performance as a wide practice, not one house style.
