Bristol Old Vic presents: Work-in-Progress Week
Artists and companies learn more about their ideas by sharing their developing work with kind and critical audiences - that’s you!
So, we’re delighted to share this mini-programme of ideas and works-in-progress drawn from a pool of projects drawn via lottery from our artist network and our own brilliant partners and supported artists and companies. Come along and engage your hearts and minds with new thinking from some of the South West’s finest talent in our Weston Studio.
Tickets are just £5 for each event, but please consider paying it forward to support the work and the artists and selecting our £10 ticket rate if you can. We have a limited amount of £1 open concession tickets available for each event for anyone who couldn’t otherwise afford to attend.
Check out the full programme for the week below & we’ll see you at the bar after the show…
