Bristol Old Vic’s production will probably always stand in the shadow of the world conquering, barricade storming Les Misrables, but The Grinning Man is a macabre, melodramatic, Gothic masterpiece in its own right.
If you have ever yearned to be a starving artist in a garret, this could well be the production to convince you it’s a good idea. Unmissable!
