This potentially interesting premise is unfortunately undermined by a stuttering structure and meandering plotlines.

Television favourite Anna Acton will join the cast of the world premiere of Blessings, a darkly funny and moving new family drama by acclaimed playwright Sarah Shelton starring Gary Webster at Riverside Studios.

Starter for Ten will return to Bristol Old Vic from 10 September to 11 October before playing Birmingham Rep from 22 October to 1 November. A new EP, Bristol Mixtape, featuring tracks from the 2024 production, is now streaming.
