Tobacco Factory announce stellar season of shows for Autumn 2023

Posted on: 03 Jul 2023

Last week, the renowned South Bristol theatre released its eagerly anticipated programme for Autumn 2023 with an exciting blend of comedy, drama, and everything in between.

 

Tobacco Factory Theatre’s Autumn 2023 season kicks off on Thursday 7 and runs until Thursday 28 September.

 

With the theatre’s summer season well underway and Oliver Twist announced as this year’s Christmas show, Autumn at Tobacco Factory features everything from a big gay odyssey about LGBTQ+ rights to a drama exploring the dangers of humans’ meddling with the awesome power of nature.

 

Book your tickets from the theatre website, HERE.

 

 

Kicking off the season on Thursday 7 and Friday 8 September is Worklight Theatre’s ‘Fanboy’. From award-winning writer-performer Joe Sellman-Leava, this is a love-hate letter to pop culture and nostalgia, an exploration of fandom and our relationship with our past and future selves that asks why Joe’s generation is so obsessed with its childhood.

 

 

Next is Bobak Champion's ‘I’m Muslamic Don’t Panik’ between Tuesday 19 and Wednesday 20 September. From Bristol to the Tehran marathon and back again, this is an intimate spectacle of identity, where being British, Iranian and a hip-hop fan collide with spoken word, dance, music and clowning around. 

 

 

‘Margaret Thatcher Queen of Soho’ will take to the stage from Thursday 21 to Saturday 23 September. Fresh from four sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe, the Iron Lady is back for this smash-hit drag spectacle. On the eve of the Section 28 vote, Maggie accidentally becomes a Soho cabaret superstar – will her homophobic views be changed before it’s too late? 

 

 

For one night only on Tuesday 26 September, Michael Mears’ ‘The Mistake’ will appear at the theatre. A 2022 Fringe success, this urgent new piece explores the events around the catastrophic events that triggered the ‘nuclear age’. Witness this fast-moving, thought-provoking tale of a Hungarian scientist, a daring US pilot and a devoted Japanese daughter.

 

 

Returning to Tobacco Factory after an immensely popular appearance in February last year, Story Jam’s ‘Women, Who Gave No F*cks’ is back on Wednesday 27 and Thursday 28 September. With guest performers each night and no two performances the same, brace yourselves for no-holds-barred tales of inspiring super women who ripped up the rule book.
