event
on Wednesday 1st December. The event starts at 20:00.
A new play by Helen Edmundson with music by Neil Hannon.
Based on the story by Arthur Ransome and directed by Tom Morris.
Marauders! Treachery! Mutiny! This means war!
All aboard The Swallow! Follow Captain John and his able crew as they set sail to Wildcat Island on an exotic adventure to encounter savages, capture dastardly pirates and defeat mortal enemies.
A new musical for the whole family written especially for Bristol Old Vic, Swallows and Amazons is a story of an idyllic era, of endless summer evenings and the beauty of youthful imagination.
From Bristol Old Vic's Artistic Director and Director of West End and international hit War Horse, the writer of the National Theatre's astonishing Coram Boy and with music by Neil Hannon (aka The Divine Comedy), this is a show not to be missed. Capturing the imaginations of young and old, this is a Christmas treat that will never be forgotten- even by duffers.
A night to Remember-
Are you a seafaring Swallow or an adventurous Amazon? Have you got what it takes to captain your own ship?
For £200 you and three crew mates can climb aboard your very own houseboat and experience the adventure for yourselves! You'll get the most exciting view in the house, a nobler voyager's picnic and complementary grog, programmes and ice creams as you sail the intrepid seas from your unique look out. A perfect way to enjoy the show.
Book our box for your family and friends and raise your flagons to make this a night to remember. Call the Box Office for more information.
Aye aye Cap'n!!
