A
event
held at Bristol Old Vic
on Tuesday 7th March. The event starts at 19:30pm.
It's 1979, rubbish is on the streets of Lockleaze, and growing up is tricky for Fiz, Higgy and Ginger. Rick remembers what it's like to be a teenager. So when he decides to build a junk playground, he's pretty sure he has the charisma to get a bunch of reluctant kids involved. He's wrong.
Who'd want to join in building a f***ing playground?
Inspired by the true story behind the Lockleaze playground known as ‘The Vench', established over 30 years ago and still operating today, Junkyard is a story about Bristol, for Bristol, from BAFTA award-winning writer and Bristolian Jack Thorne (This Is England, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) and Evening Standard award-winning director Jeremy Herrin (People, Places and Things, Wolf Hall).
Featuring a score by Academy award-winning composer Stephen Warbeck (Shakespeare in Love), this brilliantly honest and witty new musical is a coming-of-age story about friendship and standing up for what matters.
