The Tabacco Factory

Fairground’s Open Day May 5th .

Where: Tobacco Factory
When: Monday 5th May
Time: 10am – 4pm

FairGround is an exciting Bristol based theatre company and you are invited to their Open Day!

This day will be a fun, entertaining and exciting experience for all who come along. It is a chance to participate in workshops with the company, meet and chat to the creatives who run the company, and a chance to watch an open rehearsal of their forthcoming production The Red Man which is on at the Tobacco Factory in June.

I'm currently devising/rehearsing the following show...

The Red Man emerges singing songs of fairytale fantasies and bloody nightmares. Dark, dangerous and delicious, it is a frightful folktale filled with love, longing and lies.

Two slaves struggle to conceal their daughter beneath the butchers chopping block and an old woman tends to her garden of onions. A blind king’s only son forsakes the kingdom in pursuit of love; while an abandoned woman calls out for someone to save her.

Lost somewhere between vivid dreams and grim reality, can anyone find where love lives?

I've just come back from a great scratch night called Prototype at the Tobacco Factory. I just want to say a bit about why I thought it was important and what, for me, it says about the strength of theatre in Bristol.

Right from the start, as the audience walked in, I was amazed at the number of people who turned up, I've done a mass of scratch nights across the country, including some of the most well know ones and i have never seen such a large audience, (later i found out that there were 148 people there!) 148 people, for a scratch night! I've been to scratches were there where only 6 members of the public in the audience and two of them were my mum and dad.

Seeing so many people supporting up coming, and unfinished work with their time and money (even if it was only £3 on the door) is really encouraging and it shows how committed and engaged the audience in Bristol is.
