SUMMARY:Days of Significance - BOVTS  - The Station
DESCRIPTION:The play forms part of Bristol Old Vic Theatre School’s Spring Season.\nDays of Significance – The War is Out There. The War is Here.\nWritten by Roy Williams\nDirected by Natalie Simone \nRoy Williams’s hard-hitting play\, “Days of Significance\,” is a powerful modern drama that uses a classic three-act structure to explore the volatile lives of young British people caught between two different battlegrounds. \nThe narrative follows two young soldiers\, Ben and Jamie\, and their partners\, as they prepare for and endure active service in the Iraq conflict. \nAct One is set on the streets of an urban English town\, filled with drink-fuelled brawls and sexual tension. \nAct Two shifts violently to Basra\, showing the moral compromises and dangers the soldiers face. The final act returns to England for a wedding\, revealing the devastating and complex aftermath of their tour on the soldiers and their friends back home. \nThe play fiercely tackles key themes including the cost of war on young\, often ill-prepared individuals\, the erosion of moral authority\, and the contrast between domestic and military violence\, exploring issues of prejudice\, nationalism\, and revenge. \nThe intense content\, which includes strong\, often obscene language\, explicit violence\, and mature subject matter\, means the play is recommended for mature audiences. \nIt is generally considered suitable for ages 16+. \nIt is notable that the play is an RSC-commissioned response to Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing\,” giving a classic framework to a hard-hitting contemporary narrative that critiques the naive values exported to a conflict zone.

SUMMARY:The Watsons Bristol Old Vic Theatre School
DESCRIPTION:Bristol Old Vic Theatre School brings Laura Wade’s witty adaptation of Jane Austen’s unfinished novel The Watsons to The Station this March. \nThe perfect play for Bridgerton bingers\, it has all the hallmarks of a jolly good time – Regency period\, meddling mothers\, fancy frocks\, all charm but with a rebellious spirit. \nEmma is nineteen. She’s facing a life of poverty without prospects until she hatches a plan with her sisters to get married pronto. What could possibly go wrong? Well the novelist not finishing the book for starters. What will the characters do to get their happy ending? \nThe Watsons runs at The Station on dates between 15 – 22 March 2025 \nAccessible Performance: BSL interpreted performance on Friday 21 March by Sherrie Eugene-Hart
