Road
North Bristol’s excellent Kelvin Players (who this year celebrate 90 years since their first production) delve into their back catalogue with this production of a play they first produced 20 years ago.
Set in the late 80s, Jim Cartwright’s Road explores the lives of the people in a deprived, working-class area of Lancashire during the government of Margaret Thatcher, a time of high unemployment in the north of England.
The play was considered extremely effective in portraying the desperation of people’s lives at this time, as well as containing a great deal of humour.
is needed now More than ever
Director Simon Shorrock has assembled a large cast of old and new members for this special production, including a few who were also in the show for Kelvin back in 1999.
Kelvin Players’ commitment to producing high-quality theatre has seen it become one of most successful and largest non-professional companies in the South West. It has been well recognised for excellence over the years at the One Act Festival and Rose Bowl Awards. Most recently, it won Best Dramatic Production 2018, for Anne Boleyn at Tobacco Factory Theatres.
