Lulu – Tobacco Factory Theatres

The premiere production of Angela Carter’s darkly comic adaptation of Frank Wedekind’s Lulu, is being staged at Tobacco Factory Theatres this summer.

Lulu is many things: muse, monster, fantasy. Those she meets unveil their desires and obsessions – revealing more about themselves than her – each encounter drawing them closer not to Lulu’s power, but to their own unraveling. 

Rising from obscurity into a world of wealth, lust, and moral decay, Lulu moves through shifting identities and projections. Desire is electric, danger lurks in the grotesque and absurd, and the line between victim and predator dissolves. 

The show is being performed by the graduating acting students and supported by Technical Theatre Arts students from Bristol School of Acting.
