260 Schools Tour
Muneera Pilgrim's play A Brit?ish Museum and Sam Parker's play Dead AirAs part of activity to celebrate 260 years of Bristol Old Vic, we're going to schools across Bristol this September to present brand new drama especially written for young people and performed by Bristol Old Vic's Made in Bristol company.
The plays are written by Bristol Old Vic's Five-Year commitment writers Muneera Pilgrim and Sam Parker.
Muneera's A Brit?ish Museum and Sam's Dead Air will be performed across nineteen Bristol secondary schools to KS3 and KS4 students.
Made in Bristol members will be not just be performing, but also creating the set, costume and lighting design and the sound and music for the pieces.
The schools tour will make high-quality theatre accessible to over 1,000 young people across Bristol.
As part of the schools tour we're also providing workshops for students that explore the themes of the plays and deliver much-needed creative skills training.
You can support this project and all our vital work with young people in Bristol.
A BRIT?ISH MUSEUM
BY MUNEERA PILGRIM | DIRECTED BY LISA GREGAN
This play is about a friendship on the verge of breaking up. Can the friendship be saved when they visit the Brit?ish Museum and find belonging in their new understanding of Britishness?
DEAD AIR
BY SAM PARKER | DIRECTED BY RIKKI HENRY
6 months ago, adults disappeared overnight. Children were left to run the world in their absence. When a child turns eighteen, they disappear too. Dead Air follows a group of teenagers in Bristol who
have set up a guerilla radio station in an abandoned
school. Tonight, lead presenter MIC turns eighteen, and
so the gang must gear up for one last show.
