Acts of Resistance

Date: Sunday, Apr 7 2019 - Monday, Apr 8 2019
Venue: Bristol Old Vic

In the not-so-distant future, England finds itself in the middle of yet another political earthquake.

In our sitting rooms, on our streets, just off our shores, something is shifting under our feet and all across the nation communities are cracking.

But what would happen if people stopped keeping calm and carrying on? What if hope came from the most unexpected place…?

EatDrink24/7 Launch Party is back on July 8 2026!
Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.

Created through a bold and ambitious project called Headlong Futures, this brand new play from four communities across England and award-winning writer Stef Smith is a playful and passionate look at what we have inherited and what, for the sake of all our futures, we are willing to leave behind.

Headlong Futures is a collaboration between Bristol Old Vic, New Perspectives, Theatre Royal Plymouth and Brewery Arts Centre.

Sun 7 6pm / Mon 8 2pm, £8 upwards. For more info, visit https://bristololdvic.org.uk/whats-on/acts-of-resistance
