Limelight
Follow a group of other-worldy characters into the depths of Bristol Old Vic...
In celebration of the launch of our much-anticipated Heritage offer, we’re bringing back to life some of the famous faces who’ve trodden our boards over the last 252 years.
As you are guided around the theatre, you’ll encounter a host of characters from the past regaling you with tales of the Theatre’s rich history. For one weekend, see Bristol Old Vic through the eyes of those who made it the success it is today.
Produced by our Engagement department in conjunction with Made in Bristol (our pioneering programme for young theatre makers).
Did you know?
Limelight is a type of stage lighting once used in theatres. Limelights highlighted solo performers in the same manner as modern spotlights, which is where the term “in the limelight” was coined.
