Review: Cyrano, Bristol Old Vic
Splendidly spirited retelling of yer classic two-boys-meet-girl story
Plenty of top theatrical fare on offer this November. We particularly like the look of a quartet of shows that all tackle pressing socio-political issues including the environment, race, rape and our treatment of the trans community. There are laughs aplenty too, some courtesy of the brilliant Living Spit one of our favourite local companies (returning during a strong month for local outfits – a warm welcome back to the Ministry of Entertainment, Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and Creative Youth Network, too).
Fast forward to the end of the month and, to borrow a phrase, it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…
