Brand new musical play by Bristol’s BAFTA-winning playwright Jack Thorne (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, This is England), telling the story of a motley crew of Bristol teenagers who grudgingly agree to create a junk playground. Jack’s own connection to the story is deep – as he explains, his father was the leading figure in the early-1970s creation of The Vench, the Lockleaze adventure playground – still operating today – that inspired the tale.
Bristol Old Vic co-production with Theatre Clwyd, Headlong and the Rose Theatre Kingston. Jeremy Herrin directs, and there’s an original score from Academy Award-winning composer Stephen Warbeck.
