A event on Thursday 9th June. The event starts at 20:30.


It’s the end of all things, and time is moving strangely.

The Count gathers his troupe for the annual hunt and parties which follow, perhaps for the last time. Left behind and locked away, his newest wife, Ariane, finds herself surrounded by strange figures and ancient secrets. Soon, she begins to question the strict boundaries she's been forced to exist within - can she break out of the story written for her?

Critically acclaimed theatre company Brave Mirror ('Jane Eyre', 'The Tempest', 'Cancer of the Blood'), presents Natalie Beddows' timely adaptation of the classic Bluebeard fairytale. Directed by Jamie Saul, featuring an original score by Jack Harding, and supported using public funding from the Arts Council England, 'The Sixth Heart' will play in Bristol from June 8th-11th 2022.

The evening performances on Thursday June 9th and Friday June 10th will be recorded for a later digital release.
