LETTERS TO WINDSOR HOUSE by Tobacco Factory Theatres Beyond at the Wardrobe, Bristol
★★★★☆ In this highly entertaining, personally revealing and slightly political piece the two actual flatmates – or friends as Louise prefers to call themselves– explore the lives of people who used to live...
The Establishment at the Bristol Wardrobe
★★★☆☆ Two gentlemen in dressing-gowns and nightcaps peer out nervously from behind a curtain. They appear reassured that they have an audience, so they emerge, resplendent now in rather garish outfits . . . T...
WE ARE IAN by Tobacco Factory Theatres Beyond at The Wardrobe, Bristol
★★★★★ I really enjoyed We Are Ian, which is surprising, for I do not dance; never have, really. I suspected that I was the last person who should have been asked to review a show about the Acid House music of ...
THE LONG TRICK at the Wardrobe, Bristol
★★★☆☆ It tells the story of Tristan, who lives with his young daughter Kelsey on a boat moored on the Helford River. Tristan makes a somewhat precarious living by stealing from all the local second homes that...
THE EPISODE at the Wardrobe, Bristol
★★★☆☆ There have been Reality television shows as far back as the 40s and 50s but they really become a big phenomenon on our screens in the 90s with the rapid development of the ‘Big Brother’ style of pro...

ODYSSEY at the Wardrobe, Bristol
George Mann has brought a hugely impressive range of theatrical skills to this performance. He has a particularly fine voice, not unlike Patrick Stewart’s in moments of grandeur, and there are perhaps more occasions w...
WHAT I LEARNED FROM JOHNNY BEVAN at the Wardrobe Theatre, Bristol
This is spoken word as good as it gets. Make a note to catch Wright next time he’s in town. While pollsters and pundits seem unable to take accurate readings of the political temperature, he can be relied upon to provi...
CHAMP at the Wardrobe Theatre, Bristol
Danny is a frustrated, thoughtful, charming young man, and over the course of an hour we learn a lot more about him than meets the eye and, more pertinently, much more than he would imagine anyone would care about. He ha...
POLICE COPS at the Wardrobe, Bristol
The Pretend Men present a phrenetic pastiche of American 1970s TV cop shows in a cinematic, physical theatre production, squeezed into just over an hour. The scenario is a familiar one; genuine, honest Jimmy Johnson is d...
THE ROOM UPSTAIRS – Theatre West at the Wardrobe, Bristol
Lois Mackie’s portrayal of a likeable young woman driven to desperation is very moving, charting with great precision Clem’s gradual loss of control over her own life. At fourteen this was a girl who vowed she would...
