Meet LULU 🎭 Our Acting for Stage and Screen graduates final production. Don’t miss this one!

“…we think we have choices. We think we make choices. But it’s all beyond our control…” 

German playwright Frank Wedekind’s notorious creation, Lulu, is reborn in this premiere production of Angela Carter’s bold, darkly comic adaptation – a fierce, expressionist reimagining that shatters the longheld myth of the femme fatale. 

For Lulu is many things: muse, monster, fantasy. Those she meets unveil their desires and obsessions – revealing more about themselves than her – each encounter drawing them closer not to Lulu’s power, but to their own unraveling. 

Rising from obscurity into a world of wealth, lust, and moral decay, Lulu moves through shifting identities and projections. Desire is electric, danger lurks in the grotesque and absurd, and the line between victim and predator dissolves. 

Through Lulu’s eyes, Carter transforms Wedekind’s scandalous classic into a provocative, gothic, and darkly comic exploration of gender, sexuality, and the stories we tell about women who refuse to be contained. 

Lulu is is performed by graduating acting students and supported by Technical Theatre Arts students from Bristol School of Acting.

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.
