Bristol Old Vic
The Beautiful Future Is Coming
★★★★☆ Wise
Bristol Old Vic’s The Beautiful Future Is Coming by Flora Wilson Brown at the Traverse is a beautifully performed rumination on the climate emergency and human responses to it.
Anna Karenina
★★★★☆ Powerful
The glowing passion of this Anna Karenina comes as much from the staging as from the characters. Written by Lesley Hart after Leo Tolstoy, and directed by Polina Kalinina, the Lyceum’s co-production with Bristol Old Vic is an urgent and thoroughly contemporary affair.
You Bury Me
★★★★★ Essential
You Bury Me at the Lyceum is an utterly convincing piece of theatre – visually, emotionally and politically forceful, performed with wit, skill and humanity.
Wuthering Heights
★★★☆☆ Overstretched
Emma Rice’s adaptation of Wuthering Heights for Wise Children with the UK National Theatre, Bristol Old Vic and York Theatre Royal is full of energy and ideas. Indeed, too full for its own good at times.
The Meaning of Zong
★★★★★ Stunning
The Meaning of Zong at the Lyceum for a two week stay is a hugely important, superbly staged piece of theatre.
Twelfth Night
★★★★☆ Kaleidoscopic:
Shifting emotions are filtered through autumnal sunlight in the Lyceum’s Twelfth Night, with as much defiant sadness on view as happy resolution.
Lyceum to touch void
Lyceum announces Bristol Old Vic co-pros for 2018:
A new David Greig adaptation of Touching the Void and the return of Wils Wilson at the helm for Twelfth Night will feature in the Lyceum’s 2018/19 season.
