Dateline: 19th September, 2006
Coming to the Tobacco Factory For a while it looked like it might not happen, but Bristol's Shakespeare at the Tobacco Company will be launching its seventh season in 2007, the company has announced. The success of a fundraising appeal earlier this summer following disastrously poor returns for its production of Titus Andronicus, means SATTF will be staging two new productions - Othello and Much Ado About Nothing (February-April). Prior to this, the Tobacco Factory will be staging an eclectic mix of stand-up comedy and theatre, kicking off on Thursday, September 21 with performances of Organic Theatre's Sheepskin. The acclaimed show, which runs for three days, blends physical theatre with verbatim interviews, mask and puppetry, to take you on a tale of a young farmer's breakdown, an experience billed as "darkly humorous and surreal". The show is followed by The Hospital, by award-winning dance and theatre company Jo Stromgren Kompani. The show also blends puppets and film in what is said to be a visually stunning take on the human condition. On a different note, the Opera Project returns in October with Mozart's Don Giovanni and Britten's The Turn of the Screw, which is followed in turn by the return of Gecko with their new show The Race. The event promises movement, vivid colour and emotive music. The Ministry of Entertainment move in with Mrs Gerrish's Guesthouse, a celebration of the arrival of the 1950s and the year comes to the closewith a the return of the Christmas production of Treasure Island.
