Discover The Curtain's thrilling re-launch with their all-new production of William Shakespeare's 'Romeo & Juliet'.

Bristol Old Vic Theatre School - one of the UK's leading drama conservatoires - is preparing to go back to its roots this summer and take over Bristol Old Vic's Theatre and Weston Studio with a powerful season of work, 75 years after the School's first graduating cohort took to the stage. 

Production photos have been released for Manor, a timely new play by Moira Buffini (The Dig, Harlots), that opened in the Lyttelton for previews on 16 November and is running until 1 January.

In this darkly comic play, a violent storm is brewing and Diana, played by Nancy Carroll (The Crown) is struggling to keep the roof on her rundown manor house. As the storm sweeps the coast, an explosive mix of people unexpectedly arrive in search of shelter including Ted Farrier, played by Shaun Evans (Vigil), a charismatic leader of a far-right organisation. Stranded together, this group of strangers must survive the weather - and each other. 

Extra tickets go on sale to the public from Monday 19 July. Tickets for The Normal Heart, East is East, Manor and Hex on sale to the public from Friday 30 July. Learn more about all of the upcoming productions here!
