Dateline: 2nd March, 2003

New Season at Bristol Old Vic

This month sees the start of a new régime at the Bristold Old Vic. The final production of outgoing artistic director Gareth Machin closed on Saturday, 1st March, and 18th March sees the first production of the new team, David Farr (playwright and director) and Simon Reade (dramaturg).

The first production, which previews from 13th March and runs until 5th April, is Les Liaisons Dangereuses, directed by Samuel West and starring Dervla Kirwan and Rupert Penry-Jones.

This will be followed by Gordon Anderson's production of Great Expectations (in a new version by Farr) which will run from 10th April to 3rd May. After that will come Farr's first production at the theatre, A Midsummer Night's Dream (8th May to 7th June).

There will be two studio productions in the season, Farr's latest play The Queen Must Die and Reade's adaptation of Jill Tomlinson's children's story, The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark.
