Bestsellers Reimagined

The National Year of Reading 2026 is the biggest campaign in a generation designed to help more people (re)discover the joy of reading and make it part of their everyday lives.

Here at Bristol Old Vic, we’re proud to present a number of literary stage adaptations – from critically acclaimed novels including Manuel Puig’s seductive Kiss of the Spider Woman and Max Porter’s folk horror Lanny, to firm family favourites.
