SKIN is now on sale and coming to 1532 on September 15th. A contemporary dance production that tells the story of a boy's journey of gender transition, fusing urban and contemporary styles with an original score. It was sold out at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival last year, so make sure you don't miss it in Bristol! Here is a sneak peak:

Twisted Tales is a hilariously dark triple bill of riotous comedies that reveal the darkness under the domestic, the lengths people will go to for love, and how to wash blood stains out of a carpet. Why have three strangers; a brash Bristolian, a Cockney wide-boy and an introverted blogger been summoned to play a deadly locked-room mystery? Who is the bandaged man, obsessively in love and held captive inside an upmarket flat, counting down the seconds until it’s time for HER ...to return and the “thing I can’t say” to begin? How will two childrens’ TV presenters dispose of a corpse before time runs out? All they have is their wits, their arts & crafts skills & a foul-mouthed, criminal genius glove puppet. Join us for an anarchic night of Twisted Tales and consider “how far would you go to get what you want?
For their fifth outing ‘Owdyado Theatre brings you three twisted tales from three distinct voices. Inspired by cult series The Twilight Zone and Inside Number Nine this series of dark comedies is co-written by Daniel Richards and Charlotte Bister (A View from the Edge, Above Bored) as well as distinguished Cornish writers Brett Harvey (Brown Willy, Weekend Retreat) and Jon Welch (Spillikin, Swivelhead ).
Get set for an evening of Twisted Tales.

Cant wait for Mill on the Floss by Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. Here on the 16th June. Tickets available here: http://www.oldvic.ac.uk/whats-on/THE-MILL -ON-THE-FLOSS.html. Photo credit Craig Fuller.

BRISTOL OLD VIC THEATRE SCHOOL presents The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot Adapted by Helen Edmundson and directed by Paul Clarkson
"They had entered the thorny wilderness, and the golden gates of their childhood had for ever closed behind them."
... In this fluid and visceral re-imagining, Helen Edmundson (Queen Anne, Coram Boy, The Heresy of Love) turns George Eliot's unforgettable story of first love, sibling rivalry and regret into a wonderfully theatrical examination of the psyche of one of classic literature’s most charismatic heroines.
Brought up at Dorlcote Mill, Maggie Tulliver worships her brother Tom and is desperate to win the approval of her parents, but her passionate, wayward nature and her fierce intelligence bring her into constant conflict with her family. As she reaches adulthood, the clash between their expectations and her desires is painfully played out as she finds herself torn between her relationships with three very different men: her proud and stubborn brother Tom; hunchbacked Phillip Wakem, the son of her family's worst enemy; and the charismatic yet dangerous Stephen Guest.
‘With rare theatrical vibrancy, Helen Edmundson’s free adaptation distils the essence of George Eliot’s feminist novel’ – Evening Standard
‘…not only re-invents the novel, but pushes the boat out theatrically way beyond its usual moorings…’ – The Guardian
‘An intensely moving dramatisation – stylised, but free of empty theatrics.’ –The Times

Dorchester Arts and Poonamallee Productions present A Pure Woman, a new play by Simon Reade based on Christopher Nicholson’s novel Winter.
Based on true events, Thomas Hardy, 84, has an affair of the heart with the 20-something Dorset woman playing Tess in the local amateur Hardy Players’ production - which drives Hardy’s second wife, Florence, in her 40s, into a jealous rage. Within this highly theatrical love triangle, a deeply moving portrait of a marriage in extremis is p...layed out. Adapted from Christopher Nicholson’s highly acclaimed novel Winter.
“ ***** Ravishing” Telegraph
