Bristol and Beyond
Part of Forest Fringe's Weekend in Bristol
A series of round-table discussions attempting to burrow into the exciting theatrical landscape that has developed recently in Bristol, how it might be sustained and what differences and parallels there are with other people's experience across the rest of the country and internationally.
Created in collaboration with Theatre Bristol, the event will be broken down into three hour-long conversations spread across the weekend. Each will take a different perspective on the work being produced in Bristol and be introduced by someone intimately involved in that work.
Whoever you are and whatever your experience we'd love you to come along and take part, offer your views or listen to what others have to say.
