Oi Polloi

Oi Polloi is Bristol Old Vic’s community theatre group for adults who want to develop their creativity and confidence through creative play and ensemble theatre making, led by professional theatre-makers Liz Felton and Benj Foster.


The project started in 2019 out of Cardboard Citizen’s national programme Cardboard Camps. Now working in partnership with Bristol Drugs Project, the project provides a safe and supportive space for individuals to try out new skills and make work together.

Oi Polloi is a creative programme that works with adults with lived experience of homelessness, people who use drugs or alcohol, or feel socially isolated for other reasons.

To find out more about the programme please contact engagement@bristololdvic.org.uk.
