1972: The Future of Sex

Date: Tuesday, Apr 30 2019 - Saturday, May 11 2019
Venue: Bristol Old Vic: Weston Studio

It’s 1972. An era of possibility and polyester and pubic hair.

Ziggy Stardust is on Top of the Pops, Penny is writing an essay on Lady Chatterley’s Lover and Christine is watching Deepthroat. Brian is confused.

With their trademark theatricality in tow, The Wardrobe Ensemble (Education, Education, Education) return to their old stomping ground to tell stories of the class of ‘72, accompanied by a live band and some spacehoppers.
