Bristol Old Vic announces 2022 season

Bristol Old Vic has announced its 2022 Season today providing what it is hoped as a roadmap for the theatre post-pandemic.

The Bristol Old Vic's Artistic Director Tom Morris has announced the theatre's 2022 season, his last at the theatre, which it is hoped will see the theatre ready to face the challenges of the theatre world post-pandemic.

After 12 years at the Bristol Old Vic, Morris said :- “The future of Bristol Old Vic has never looked fuller of excitement, opportunity, and enriching creative challenge, This theatre, with all its history and potential is a superb place to explore what theatre might be in the future and what role it might play in shaping our society over the next decade. This season is just a foundation for that change. I can’t wait to see what unforeseen discoveries and creations emerge from it in the coming years.” The way ahead for Bristol Old Vic includes productions including the recently opened Dr Semmelweis with Mark Rylance, a collaboration between Bristol's award-winning writer and Olivier Award-winning director Sally Cookson with Wonder Boy (5 - 26 March) and Olivier Award-winning actor Giles Terera's play about Olaudah Equiano, The Meaning Of Zong (2 April - 7 May 2022). These new productions will also be joined by two shows back by popular demand, A Monster Calls (a co-production with the Old Vic London in 2018) which will run from 13 - 23 April and a season from the acclaimed Pride and Prejudice* (*Sort of) following its West End run.
