SUMMARY:Living Spit Omlet: Prince of Henmark - The Wardrobe Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Living Spit will be at The Wardrobe Theatre this October with brand new show Omlet: Prince of Henmark. \nIt’s the story of Hamlet\, told by a variety of eggs and other foodstuffs puppeteered to camera and livestreamed. Not only was this founder member and RSC actor Stu McLoughlin’s first ever solo show\, it was the inaugural performance at the brand new theatre location for for Clevedon’s The Theatre Shop in Market Hall. \nThe show is playing at 13 different venues across the region until November 2026. \nThe Tragedy of Omlet Prince of Hen-mark\nBy Stu McLoughlin (and William Shakespeare) \n“O\, that this too too solid shell would melt\,\nThaw and resolve itself into a dew…” \nThe question of suitability to play the Moody Dane has preoccupied theatre makers for\ncenturies. Scholars have long debated age\, physique\, gender and temperament – yet all\nhave overlooked the perfect candidate: an egg. \nEnter Omlet\, Prince of Hen-mark; Hamlet rehatched; fragile\, brooding\, on the brink of\ncracking under the pressure of his own Egg-sistential angst and joined by a full supporting\ncast of vegetables and assorted foodstuffs –  fresh from the fridge and prepared to present\nShakespeare’s greatest tragedy as you’ve never seen it before; retold by one man\, one egg\nand a trolley full of comestibles. \nBut this is no ordinary one man show. With live original music\, perishable puppetry\, and an\noverly confident reliance on bad puns\, actor Stu Mcloughlin juggles an entire allotment of\nShakespearean tragedy whilst trying not to turn his leading man into a leading flan. \nOmlet\, Prince of Hen-mark is a sumptuous scramble of skillful soliloquising\, small-scale\nsuspense and sunny-side-up Shakespearean silliness. A cracking night out\, which proves\nonce and for all that… \n…something is rotten in the state of Hen-mark. \n

SUMMARY:Rabbit & Rey and The Lost Things - The Wardrobe Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Rabbit & Rey and The Lost Things is a brand new bonkers adventure from Stuff & Nonsense Theatre Company. \nThe funny and heart-tugging show is a joyful production aimed at children aged from 3 – 8 years of age with their families. \nEver felt like the world’s playing hide and seek with your stuff? One moment it’s there… the next\, pooff! Your toy\, your glasses\, your book\, your sock… even your ideas\, gone. \nEnter Rey: an imagination expert\, a question-asker\, and a glorious misplacer of everything. Beside Rey is Rabbit: a forever-loved bunny\, wise\, fiercely loyal\, and always present when the world feels like a bit too much. \nTogether\, the pair set off on an unforgettable quest to find all the things they’ve ever lost. But as their journey unfolds\, Rabbit & Rey realize they aren’t the only ones missing things—other people have Lost Things too. As Rey begins to wonder if being a “loser” might not be so bad after all\, a remarkable truth emerges: What if losing things wasn’t the problem\, but the path?

SUMMARY:Terry’s: An American Tragedy About Cars\, Customers\, and Selling Cars to Customers - The Wardrobe Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Lecoq-trained Gloucestershire theatre company BRILLIG comes to The Wardrobe Theatre this autumn with Terry’s: An American Tragedy About Cars\, Customers\, and Selling Cars to Customers. \nIt’s Memorial Day weekend. The US-of-A. The motley\, motor-mouthed sales team at Terry’s Cars & Automobiles has just four days to hit their monthly target. With their salaries and sanity on the line\, they must shift 66 cars by Monday or face the wrath of their overlord boss\, Terry. \nThe show is an absurd\, all-American devised comedy combining clowning\, physical theatre\, and original music. Initially inspired by This American Life’s podcast episode ‘129 Cars’\, Terry’s takes audiences on a ride through the silly\, surreal\, and disturbing reaches of US capitalism\, revealing the absurdity and madness rumbling under the gleaming bonnet of the American Dream. \nBRILLIG creates entertaining\, virtuosic\, big-hearted original work which uses clowning and physical theatre to provoke personal and political reflection.

SUMMARY:REVOLT! - The Wardrobe Theatre
DESCRIPTION:REVOLT! is a double header of radical history and renegade ramblings from Pete the Temp & Doug Francisco \nTwo of Bristol’s most gloriously unorthodox performers join forces for an evening of radical history\, psychedelic Romanticism\, circus confessionals and backstage madness. \nPoet\, performer and storyteller Pete the Temp and legendary Bristol ringmaster\, clown and circus impresario Doug Francisco journey from the revolutionary ferment of the 1790s to the seedy underbelly of modern cabaret. \nROMANTICS\, MYSTICS & REVOLUTIONARIES\nPete the Temp \nWhat did Bristol’s radical past have to say about the future? \nRomantics\, Mystics & Revolutionaries is a wild ride through Bristolian riot\, anti-slavery\, mysticism and psychedelics\, told through the lives and ideas of two renegade poets: Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth. \nThe Romantic movement was\, in part\, a revolt against industrialisation and the mechanisation of the soul. But what might its dreams of renewal\, imagination and human freedom offer an age of ecological crisis\, technological acceleration and despair? \nPart storytelling stage-show\, part performance lecture\, Pete the Temp unfolds a journey of music\, comedy and lyricism — a collision of scholarship and live entertainment. \nExpect reverence\, resistance and enchantment from a time of slavery and war. \n  \nFROM DOUG TIL DAW\nDoug Francisco \nDoug went to Stonehenge Free Festival when he was 15 and has literally only just got back. \nFrom Doug Til Dawn is a rollercoaster of ramblings and reminiscences into the seedy underbelly of cabaret — and back again — from Bristol’s legendary Red Rebel Ringmaster\, clown and circus impresario. \nWitness the psycho-dramas\, internal dialogues and multiphrenic mutterings of a life lived backstage: a soul striving to shine divine beneath the shadow of the great machine\, who has finally decided it’s time to have a serious word with himselves. \nTwo performers. Two journeys. One night of revolt. \n

SUMMARY:Goldilock\, Stock & Three Smoking Bears - The Wardrobe Theatre
DESCRIPTION:This Christmas\, The Wardrobe Theatre is giddy to bring back one of our all-time favourite productions. As we celebrate 10 years of The Wardrobe Theatre in Old Market\, we’re going back to where it all began with the first show ever to be performed here. Get ready for an ill-fated fusion of the classic porridge-thieving fairy tale with 1998’s cult cockney caper to create something new\, exciting\, smart and very\, very funny. \nThe silver-tongued Goldilock can see that her days of selling moody goods on the cobbled streets of East End London are numbered. But when circumstances leave her on the run from a pack of bears and badly indebted to a notorious gangster\, will our young heroine be able to raise the needed ‘bees and honey’ in time and avoid doing porridge?
