SUMMARY:The Lower Depths - Tobacco Factory Theatres
DESCRIPTION:The Bristol School of Acting will be at Tobacco Factory Theatres this November with Maxim Gorky’s 1902 masterpiece The Lower Depths. \nThe play is brought to life by an ensemble production of graduating students of Bristol School of Acting. \nLocked away from the sun\, a group of thieves\, fallen aristocrats\, and weary dreamers pass the nights exchanging wit and heavy truths. When a mysterious pilgrim arrives spinning tales of a better world\, a fragile spark of hope ignites\, but can the truth survive when comfort is built on illusions?  \nThe Lower Depths is an unflinching but deeply compassionate study of human illusion\, poverty and the determination to survive. It draws on Gorky’s own experience as an orphan at the age of 11 wandering homeless across pre-revolutionary Russia\, observing a society feeding on itself; seeing the value and purpose of human life set against the dreams of the oppressed.  \nDirected by Aaron Parsons\nTranslated by Jenny Covan\nDesigned by Aldo Vazquez\nLighting by Amy Mae\nSound Designer/Composer Jack Drewry

SUMMARY:SCENE Pop-Up Cinema Presents Drive (2011) - ACTA
DESCRIPTION:Pop up community cinema for film lovers\, Scene Bristol\, will be showing Drive at ACTA this November. \nA getaway driver. A city after dark. A job gone wrong. It’s cool. It’s beautiful.

All pulsing synths\, long silences and sudden brutality. \nAnd it deserves to be seen on a big screen\, with the sound turned up. \nScene is an independent pop-up cinema in Bristol bringing cult classics\, overlooked gems and films worth revisiting back to the big screen. \nEntry Requirements: 18+
