SUMMARY:Glitch: A New Scratch Night from Uncaged Theatre - Alma Tavern Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Uncaged Theatre is hosting a new scratch night at the Alma Tavern Theatre this June. \nA comedy showcase of four plays by early-career playwrights in the South West region is on the line-up. \nIt includes: \nThe Authors’ by Jamillah Knowles\nAs Benja struggles to seduce a muse through alcohol and isolation\, their flatmates Dex and Rikki have different ideas about how they craft the narratives of their lives. Is art really pain? Does anyone care if the scripts on a foot fetishist’s subscription site are generated using AI? \nEnd of the World’ by Geraint Hughes\nA hilarious and thought-provoking Kubrick / Stoppard / Tarantino mash-up on our relationship with Artificial Intelligence. Are we all complicit in letting AI shape our cultural\, political\, and environmental landscape? Will we continue to let it displace human creativity and original thought\, or does the fight back start here? It’s a rollercoaster ride! \nThe Bus Stop’ by Patrick Large\nIt is mid-morning at a bus stop\, and two young men in their twenties from very different backgrounds find themselves sitting next to each other: one with a trust fund haircut\, and one with a love for winding up the poshos. Will they connect? Will they debate? No chance. \nGod Is Dead’ by Joe Brooks\nGod is dead\, washed up on the beach at Weston-super-Mare. It soon becomes clear that this is murder: murder most metaphysical. Detective Inspector Taylor and PC Blake are drawing up the list of suspects. They come to their prime suspect\, but can they bring the fallen angel in for questioning?

SUMMARY:You’ve Gone Quiet by Cerys Duffy - Alma Tavern Theatre
DESCRIPTION:You’ve Gone Quiet is a hilarious & immersive new play that places you – the audience – directly inside the life of a trans woman. Told in second person\, it is the only show this year that doesn’t ask you to watch a trans story\, but live one. \nFeaturing Shane Convery (BBC’s Privileged & Blue Lights) and Gennifer Becouarn (BBC’s The Gold). \nThe story follows Beth\, a journalist whose best friend asks her to help conceive a baby. As Beth pursues this\, and the media begins to share her words\, we see how an innocent story can be turned into a sinister cultural theme.

SUMMARY:One Breath Before The End - Alma Tavern Theatre
DESCRIPTION:“Can’t Wait To Leave”. \n“It’s always been the end.” The sky’s on fire and everything’s falling apart. Out of options\, inseparable trio Ash\, Oliver\, and Kieron have retreated to their old childhood hangout to figure out what the plan is – or whether there’s even one at all. That’s until Phoebe turns up. Wanting to talk. Wanting connection. Wanting forgiveness. As the hours tick down\, old grudges are unearthed and tempers flare as the group struggle to come to terms with the decade-long fallout of an event that drove them apart. If all you had was one night\, do you think you could make things right again?

SUMMARY:This Never Happened - Alma Tavern Theatre Bristol
DESCRIPTION:New Bristol based theatre company Pink Glass Productions\, is staging their debut play at the Alma Tavern Theatre this month. \nThis Never Happened is a darkly satirical new play exploring truth\, belief\, and responsibility in an age of relentless media noise. \nDonovan’s world is shaped by ‘The Station’; a political media sphere that offers certainty\, outrage\, and a clear version of reality. Built from the verbatim language of contemporary news commentary\, ‘The Station’ repeats its narratives until they feel unquestionable. But when that certainty begins to fracture\, the foundations of Donovan’s worldview start to shift. \nPink Glass Productions aims to create politically engaged shows about the worlds and communities in which queer\, young people exist. \n  \n

SUMMARY:A Bright New Boise - Misplaced Theatre - Alma Tavern Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Misplaced Theatre returns to the Alma Tavern Theatre this spring with A Bright New Boise by Samuel D. Hunter. \nThe play explores themes of family\, faith and fundamentalism. \n\n\n\n\nIn a bleak break room of a craft store in Boise\, Idaho someone is summoning the Rapture. \nWill Cronin is determined to make a fresh start for himself after being implicated in a scandalous tragedy at his church in Rathdrum.

SUMMARY:I Have Been Here Before - Alma Tavern Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Axbridge Community Theare brings J.B. Priestley’s play I Have Been Here Before to the Alma Tavern Theatre. \nA woman\, her husband and a young headmaster meet a mysterious professor at an isolated pub. \nHis probing enquiries reveal that all three are unhappy and confused. They’ve been repeating the same old scenes\, with catastrophic consequences. \nNow\, finally\, is there a chance to break out of the loop? \nLike Priestley’s famous An Inspector Calls\, this 1937 “time play” was influenced by contemporary ideas in science and philosophy. How does Dr Gortler know which characters are headed for disaster? Do we really have the free will to change the course of events? Or are our lives essentially pre-determined? \nAn imperturbable landlord and his spiky daughter add observations on social class into the mix. The whole cast react differently to the arrival of an eccentric foreigner. This all adds up to much more than the average “spooky pub” mystery. We may be watching in 2026\, but somehow\, disturbingly\, we sense we’ve been here before. \n

SUMMARY:Scenes With Girls by Miriam Battye - Alma Tavern Theatre

SUMMARY:Terrys: An American Tragedy About Cars\, Customers\, and Selling Cars to Customers - Alma Tavern Theatre
DESCRIPTION:It’s Memorial Day weekend in the US-of-A. The sales team at Terry’s Cars and Automobiles is preparing to honour the fallen by slashing prices on some gently used\, (mostly) American-made cars. But the pressure’s on. If Terry’s team doesn’t shift 66 cars by Monday\, there’ll be hell to pay. \nTerry’s: An American Tragedy About Cars\, Customers\, And Selling Cars To Customers is the debut show of Lecoq-trained company Brillig\, who are based in Gloucestershire. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt was initially inspired by This American Life’s podcast episode 129 Cars. \nBrillig have combined clowning\, physical theatre and original music to turn marketing jargon into a hilarious poetry of its own. \nThe show will take the audience on a ride through the silly and disturbing side of American car dealerships\, exposing the madness of the American Dream. \nAudiences are promised a show that fans of tongue-in-cheek musicals like The Book of Mormon will enjoy as well as TV and pop culture like The Simpsons\, David Lynch and Dr Strangelove. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe show premiered this year at Brighton Fringe\, shortlisted for Best New Show. It also hit the Edinburgh Fringe back in the summer. \nThe theatre company are currently out on tour\, playing their final performance at the Clifton theatre on 14 November 2025. \nFor more on Brillig: https://linktr.ee/brilligtheatre

DESCRIPTION:Witty tribute to British playwright and novelist comes to the Clifton theatre\nMark Farrelly is back at the Alma Tavern Theatre this July with a Sunday matinée of The Silence of Snow: The Life of Patrick Hamilton. \nThe solo show dives into the life of British playwright and novelist Patrick Hamilton. \nHamilton’s two most successful plays – Rope in 1929 and Gas Light in 1938 – were both made into famous movies. \nDespite his success\, which includes novels Hangover Square and The Slaves of Solitude\, Hamilton struggled with alcoholism. \nThe Silence of Snow: The Life of Patrick Hamilton asks – Why do so many of us get through life without feeling we ever truly knew another person? \nThe play blends original writing with that of Hamilton’s. It’s set in an electro-therapy clinic in the 1950s and covers all of his turbulent life. \nAudiences have described it as ‘witty’ and ‘engaging’ . \nDirected by Linda Marlowe \nBooking info below \n\nHome: https://backstagebristol.com/\nBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/chopsybristol.bsky.social\nTikTok: www.tiktok.com/@chopsybristoltt\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/backstagebristol\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/chopsybaby

SUMMARY:I Met All My Friends on Dating Apps by Jess Andrews at Alma Tavern Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Expect disastrous dates and ‘questionable’ sock puppetry in this comedic exploration of love and connection\n\nTheatre-maker Jess Andrews is bringing her comedic autobiographical show I Met All My Friends on Dating Apps\, to Bristol this July. \nThe show\, which will be at the Alma Tavern Theatre\, is an exploration of polyamory. It’s told through spoken word\, projected data from dating apps and ‘questionable’ sock puppetry. Jess will be re-enacting disastrous dates\, first kisses and unexpected intimacy\, as she invites the audience to reconsider what love and connection can mean. \nThrough I Met All My Friends on Dating Apps\, Jess is seeking to challenge what she calls an ‘over dramatic’ and ‘unrealistic’ portrayal of non-monogamy in the media. \n “It was important to me to give an unexaggerated narrative of polyamory\, so that non-monogamous folk see their experiences reflected and validated\, and in turn might be inspired to share their own stories\,” Jess explains. \n“Common representations of polyamory tend to diminish the richness and nuance of the non-monogamous relationships that I see around me. While parts of the show will feel familiar to anyone who has been on a dating app\, I hope that while monogamous audiences laugh with me\, they also gain a different perspective on how we can experience love.” \n\nCast and Creatives\nWriter and performer Jess Andrews\nDirectorand dramaturgy Katie Overstall\nSound designer Rob Sear\nFeatured image: Jericho Reid \nBooking info below \nHome: https://backstagebristol.com/\nBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/chopsybristol.bsky.social\nTikTok: www.tiktok.com/@chopsybristoltt\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/backstagebristol\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/chopsybaby
