About Prototype

In association with Theatre Bristol

Prototype continues to entertain, surprise, stimulate and provoke, fuelled by the inventiveness, talent and ambition of Bristol’s theatre community.

Over the last three years the work-in-progress initiative has been midwife to an astonishing 20+ brand new pieces of theatre, giving audiences the chance to say they saw it here first. And there’s much more where that came from.

Come and watch short excerpts of what five or six theatre companies and artists are working on right here, right now. Grab a drink in the bar, and then come back and answer their questions about what you’ve just seen. They want to know what you think – they really do: constructive audience feedback plays a vital part in helping them make their show the best it can be. There’s no better place to see and be a part of what’s happening in theatre right now.
