SUMMARY:The Chaos That Has Been And Will No Doubt Return - Bristol Old Vic
DESCRIPTION:Last year’s award-winning Fringe Hit – The Chaos That Has Been And Will No Doubt Return – Comes to Bristol Old Vic this summer. \nWritten by Sam Edmunds\, it follows two best friends over the course of one chaotic night in austerity hit-Luton. \nAn evening of noughties bangers and shots of shitty gin mixed with the chaos of violence.

SUMMARY:Section 28 and Me by Tom Marshman at The Weston Studio
DESCRIPTION:Tom Marshman returns to the stage with a brand new piece of writing for 2025 – Section 28 and Me. \nThe show explores queer stories around the effects that Section 28 had on the LGBTQIA+ community. \nSection 28 was a piece of legislation which came into effect in May 1988 during Margaret Thatcher’s time as Prime Minister\, lasting as late as 2003. It stated that local authorities in England\, Scotland and Wales must not promote homosexuality\, promote the teaching of the acceptability\, not publish materials with the intention of promoting homosexuality. \n \n  \nTheatre-maker Tom Marshman asks what the impact of growing up under this legislation was. As well as drawing on his own personal reflections\, he asked queer and intergenerational communities what their stories were. \nDescribed as ‘playful’ and ‘heartfelt’\, Tom Marshman excels at creating insightful theatre so this is definitely one to  watch. \nFor more information about Tom Marshman\, visit: https://www.tommarshman.com/ \nCast and Creatives\nWritten and Performed by Tom Marshman\nProduced by Sarah Warden\nLight Design byRyan O’Shea\nSound Designer – Jen Bell\, Adam Combes\, Bernie Hodges\nDirector – Laura Dannequin\nOutside Eye – Jen Bell\, Caroline Williams\nDramaturg – Ben Buratta\nCostume – Julian Smith\nTech – Ryan O’Shea\nAccess support – Iman Sultan West \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
