SUMMARY:Puffling Percy - Spielman Theatre of Tobacco Factory Theatres
DESCRIPTION:Percy is a puffling who loves his burrow a little too much. Map and Pap want him to venture outside and flap his wings\, but Percy has other ideas. What the puffling doesn’t realise\, however\, is that his entire flock are about to migrate south for the winter. If he doesn’t learn to fly\, he will be left behind and his life will be in mortal danger!  \nThe uplifting children’s show is aimed at 4 – 11 year olds. It’s told through puppetry and song and covers themes of friendship\, overcoming obstacles and trusting your instincts. \nWith original music and songs by Harriette Ashcroft (Mrs H and the Singalong Band) \nFree Drop-In Craft Sessions  \nTimes: 12:30pm – 2:30pm and 3:30pm – 4:30pm \nJoin us for a fun-filled free craft session. \nGuided by one of our experienced practitioners\, you can make and take home your very own creation inspired by the show.

SUMMARY:Women Who Gave No F**ks at Tobacco Factory Theatres
DESCRIPTION:Story Jam returns to Bristol for the third year in a row\, following sell-out performances and rave reviews in 2023 and 2024. \nThe theatre company is back this month\, calling into Tobacco Factory Theatres with Women Who Gave No F**ks. \nLast time the show came to Bristol\, an audience member gave so little f**ks\, they left wearing a prop diadem. \nThe audience member had been appointed the position of Prize-Giving Godess\, an interactive role requiring the use of a crown. \n“We’re very much looking forward to bringing the show back to Bristol\,” said Lucy Lill\, one of the show’s chief storytellers. “Mainly because the audiences turn up in such numbers\, and with such enthusiasm. Even if that enthusiasm sometimes overflows into acts of theft.” \nIt’s not the first time audiences have been inspired enough to make off with props. \nIn 2023\, someone even made off with a clapometer. \nThe show is completely different every time its performed\, meaning that returning audiences won’t be bored. \nEach storyteller in the show champions a ‘great woman’ from stories of the past. Audiences then get to pick the winner. \nPrevious shows have included one-legged WW2 spy Virginia Hall and Sumerian creation goddess Tiamat. \n“Even though there’s a winner\, what audiences love about the show is they are getting to hear about all these different women\nfrom myth and history whose stories have been buried or overshadowed\, Lucy Lill continues. \n“And we get to hear about the women who have inspired our audiences – the interval is a huge celebration as we invite people to come and write all over the stage the names of the women they want everyone to know about.” \nThe company says they are looking forward to their Bristol visit\, saying there is “something special” about performances in the city. \n“Every time\, we’re surprised by the diversity of people who come\,” Lill says. \n“Audiences have included rugby fans\, students\, academics\, groups of friends on Big Nights Out\, and mums\, aunties and daughters.” \nWomen Who Gave No F*cks will be at Tobacco Factory Theatres 18 – 20 September 2025 \nBooking details below. \n

SUMMARY:When the Morning Stars Sang (& The Angels Shouted For Joy)- Tobacco Factory Theatres
DESCRIPTION:Master-storyteller Hugh Lupton with acclaimed cellist Sarah Moody\, will be taking to the stage of Tobacco Factory Theatres this September for When The Morning Stars Sang. \nThe show has been described by previous audiences as ‘Totally spellbinding’ and ‘transcendent’. \nDemons\, archangels & djinns; hoopoes\, swallows\, fish\, donkeys and maggots; kings\, queens\, merchants\, fools and the voice from the heart of the whirlwind all contend in this rich interweaving of Apocryphal and Old Testament mystery tales drawing from Jewish\, Islamic and Christian sources.   \nAudiences will encounter Adam and Eve\, Solomon and Sheba\, Tobias and the Angel\, Job and his Comforters… stories that underpin our culture… told in the picture language of the heart\, with vigour and humour\, with rich language and deep magic.  \nThis is a chance to shake off old habitual pieties and hear these ancient tales with fresh ears. \nSarah Moody’s playing is inspired by the music of all three Abrahamic traditions\, reminding us that at the core of these cultures (that have been at loggerheads for most of the last thousand years) lies a shared mythology. \nBooking details below
