A dirty, expensive city; present day (ish). A peculiar pandemic is blossoming. NHS helplines are jammed with queries from the public about plants growing inside and outside of their bodies. Politicians are avoiding the bigger questions, vigilantes are fighting back at nature and a professor is in cahoots with a woodlouse – because, why not?!
Singing plants, menacing tree-kickers, armpit moss and useless executives collide in Bea Roberts’ timely, utopian eco-comedy, Loam. Directed by Marcus Romer, the graduating Professional Acting cohort from Bristol Old Vic Theatre School will present the production – originally commissioned in 2019 – on Bristol Old Vic’s main stage this July.
Please note there will be a BSL signed performance of this production on Sat 2 Jul at 7.30pm.
Playing from Fri 24 June to Sat 2 July at Bristol Old Vic Theatre. Tickets from £10.
