Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story
Mayfest 2018Direct from Off-Broadway, Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story is a deliciously dark folktale woven together with a blistering gig.
This Klezmer-folk music-theatre hybrid starring genre-bending sensation Ben Caplan is inspired by the true stories of two Jewish Romanian refugees coming to Canada in 1908.
It's about how to love after being broken by the horrors of war. It's about refugees who get out before it's too late, and those who get out after it's too late. And it's about looking into the eyes of God.
Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story thrilled audiences at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2017 and comes to Bristol after an acclaimed off-Broadway run.

Musical Theatre Review
Christian Barry's production for the Nova Scotia based 2b Theatre Company is a joy [...] a thing of raw and unmissable beauty
Herald Scotland
Didactic and anarchic, tragic and comic, it’s a klezmer musical and a love story... and a broad allegory for the refugee crisis of the present.
