Bristol School of Acting and The Wardrobe Ensemble proudly present an evening of original theatre devised by the graduating class of the Acting and Devised Theatre BA programme.

Trophies

Women of the world!
Welcome to the cabaret of shame!
The pageant of performativity!
Game-ified for your viewing pleasure!
Welcome to the prettiest, most feminist feminist show ever!

Five really pretty self-proclaimed feminists submit themselves to the rules of the game. Playful, wild and ever-so-slightly vile, ‘Trophies’ is a raw and honest conversation about the ethics of competition and the constant need to be politically righteous and incredibly hot.

Is it sexy to sport a full bush in your bikini?
Can a feminist date a tory?
Should we kill all men? (except your bisexual boyfriend with the moustache)
Why am I personally offended by Timothee Chalamet and Kylie Jenner’s relationship?

Come and judge us. Or push us off our pedestal. We promise we’re really really feminist and really really pretty ###

Dead Dove: Do Not Eat

1. A disclaimer or tag for fan fiction, the content is as described, and as such, readers should not complain or be surprised about finding that content.
2. A fan fiction that is particularly disturbing or disgusting due
to its subject matter.

Somewhere on the internet, four fans scribble in the dark. Desperately alone, they conjure unofficial worlds of unofficial literature. Embarrassing, heartfelt and dangerous, they weave fictions to create connection, reframe the narrative and transform reality itself.

Sitting precariously between fantasy, reality, and copyright infringement, ‘Dead Dove: Do Not Eat’ exposes the stories we write for ourselves, and the worlds we redesign in our image.

Slay the dragon, learn the spell, fall in love with the vampire.
