Free tickets for Kneehigh at Bristol Old Vic

By Alison Maney  Monday Apr 4, 2016

On May 28, Bristol Old Vic will celebrate its 250th birthday by giving away a full house of tickets to see The Flying Lovers of Vitebsk, a wartime love story about two painters. Bristol24/7 readers can win 40 pairs of tickets to the event.

Kneehigh and Bristol Old Vic’s co-production traces the lives of Marc and Bella Chagall, who walked through some of the most devastating times in history. Emma Rice’s final production as Kneehigh’s artistic director is drawn in a theatrical language as fluid as Chagall’s paintings, and woven throughout with music and dance inspired by the Russian Jewish tradition.
