Tobacco Factory Theatres has announced many of its new season of inspiring and entertaining shows from September, including the biggie…..Christmas at Tobacco Factory Theatres! Follow the yellow brick road this Christmas with OZ – a brand new in-house production, created and co-produced with award-winning Bristol-based company Pins and Needles.

Reading Greek Tragedy Online was created during the first weeks of the COVID-19 lockdown when Paul O’Mahony, Artistic Director of award-winning Brighton based theatre company Out of Chaos found all three of his upcoming UK tours cancelled.

Less than a week later, Reading Greek Tragedy Online's first live episode streamed, scene readings of Euripides' Helen. From there, performances continued, weekly, throughout 2020 and by the end of the year, the project had engaged 115 actors and academics (who provide analysis and discussion as part of each 90-minute episode) from the UK, US, Canada, France, Mexico, Greece, Australia, Cyprus and India.

Hosted by Joel Christensen of Brandeis University, each episode is a modern, accessible, and informative exploration of a classic text, read in English. The project has intended to create community during a time of enforced separation, to foster dialogues between actors and academics, and to create a unique educational resource for a wide range of students. As part of the project's educational commitment, each episode (both live stream and YouTube hosted recording) can be accessed for free.

IS NOW A GOOD TIME?, a brand new interactive piece of theatre conducted entirely over the phone, will premiere on 17 March from Bristol's Tobacco Factory Theatres, and then tour venues around the UK from 22 March until 29 May.

Just in time for Halloween, an exclusive 2-man production of William Shakespeare's Macbeth will be performed in Notre Dame's Philbin Studio Theatre, October 30 & 31, 2019. 

After a European tour, Out of Chaos bring their celebrated Unmythable to The Vaults. Devised by the company on the lines of something Reduced Shakespeare Company might do and directed by Mike Tweddle & Paul O'Mahony, it celebrates Greek mythology by putting its stories together in a big pot luck.

This world premiere production will open at the Everyman as part of Cork Midsummer Festival on 15 June.

The story, Lovett's performance, and the design elements clearly have the power to engage even those most restless children.

In the wake of Brian Friel's death, director Annabelle Comyn's clear production is more than dutiful. In pitting the mythic shapes of the Mundy sisters against the machinery of the industrial age, old Irish symbols are still painfully nostalgic.
