SUMMARY:Lost Atoms - Bristol Old Vic
DESCRIPTION:Lost Atoms takes a wild ride through Jess and Robbie’s recollection of their relationship. \nBoth funny and heartbreaking\, it explores how love shapes our lives and how we remember it. \nA chance meeting\, some disastrous dates\, an extraordinary transformative love. It’s the stuff of fairy tales. Or is it? \nTogether they scale the soaring highs and crushing lows\, relive the beats of connection\, the moments of loss. But are their stories the same? And can their memories be trusted? \nFeatured Image: Tristram Kenton

SUMMARY:Living Spit Beauty and the Beast - Tobacco Factory Theatres
DESCRIPTION:As North-Somerset based\, Two-Person Comedy Theatre Companies go\, Living Spit are widely known as being one of the most physically attractive to ever grace the British stage.  \nHowever\, in this tale as old as time\, one of them will be forced to portray a hideous\, foul-tempered beast.  \nBut which one will it be?   \nThis is a re-worked\, monstrously-musical\, Disney-defying version of this classic French tale about what it means to be truly beautiful in the 18th century.

SUMMARY:CRIPtic Arts: The Acts - The Weston Studio
DESCRIPTION:CRIPtic Arts presents… The Acts! Coming to Bristol Old Vic on 23 and 24 January 2026. \nThe Acts is a gathering of four daring new works from some of the UK’s most exciting disabled theatre makers. \nCaitlin Magnall-Kearns weaves a love story of desire\, guilt\, and ageing with tender humour in The Ache of It. \nKathrine Payne’s dark comedy body job follows two lovers as they collide and unravel\, exploring the growing phenomenon of lonely deaths in the UK and the tangled realities of shame\, labour and love. \nTatum Swithenbank conjures REALMS\, a spell-like journey through folklore\, disability\, and magick. \nSO SHA  invites us into Pruu the Pidj\, a music-led ritual about survival\, softness\, and finding home in unlikely places. \nIn a cultural moment that asks disabled artists to fit into neat boxes\, The Acts asks what happens when we refuse. When we choose mess\, ritual\, pleasure\, grief\, humour\, and grit. When we make art on our own terms. \nCRIPtic Arts: The Acts has Captioned\, Relaxed and BSL performances. \nFeatured Image Artwork by Rachel Gadsden
