Great theatre at lunchtime anyone?

Here at the Tobacco Factory Theatre we are gearing up for the launch of A Play, A Pie and a Pint.  Next week sees Tom Wainwright’s fantastic new play THE ROOM WITH THE ELEPHANT taking up residency in The Brewery Theatre. Intrigued? Here’s a couple of videos to get you in the mood

The play opened this Monday up at Oran Mor in Glasgow and has been really well received. Here’s what the reviewers thought:

“Wainwright has written a vital piece of 21st century drama”

“Beadle turns in a warm, winning performance in what is a stimulating, multi-layered, thought-provoking, Russian doll of a play.”

And here’s what some audience members thought:

“Compelling stuff. I look forward to the next collaboration with Bristol Tobacco Factory. Don’t miss this.”
Irene Graham (audience member)

“The actor Gary Beadle was utterly fantastic, taking me on an emotional journey of laughter and tears, what better way to spend your Mondays”
TB (audience member)

There is a lot more to a Play, a Pie and a Pint then conveniently alliterating words. Come and join us for a Pieminister pie, a bottle of Bristol Beer Factory beer and one of the most hotly talked about season. What’s not to like!
