Young Ferment
Young Ferment is a collection of work that has been written, directed and performed by the young people themselves, mentored by professional artists from across the city. Over the past term the creative teams have worked collaboratively, with direction and input from their peers, to create three brand new pieces of work-in-progress performance that showcase the creativity and talent that the next generation of Bristolian theatre makers have to offer.
Working in collaboration with Ferment and Bristol Old Vic Young Company, Young Ferment debuts at The Wardrobe Theatre from 14–15 Apr with an exciting triple-bill.
