Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown
Almodovar's Oscar-nominated 1988 classic launches Comedy Genius season
Two shows at the Spielman Theatre at the Tobacco Factory this week come out of artist residencies: first Rosa Easton’s Southville Unexplained Club, followed by Tom Marshman’s A Haunted Existence. Elsewhere, the English National Ballet come to the Hippodrome with Swan Lake; the Pedro Almodovar classic Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown is screening at the Watershed; and Caraboo Projects in Bedminster present their second exhibition.
And let’s not forget Africa by Toto being played for 12 hours straight at the Exchange to raise money for Bristol charity Temwa.
