Ray Scannell, Tobacco Factory Productions

Performed at a grand piano, Mimic is a dark satire exploring imitation, authenticity, and what happens to a nation that leaves its heritage behind. It premiered at the Dublin Fringe Festival in 2008, with performer Ray Scannell winning Best Male Performer. It is brought to the Bristol Proms by Bristol's Tobacco Factory Theatres, as part of a tour including New York and Paris.

Part of #BristolProms. Last year's inaugural Bristol Proms - championing the highest musical standards while exploring the creative possibilities of digital technology and encouraging the audience to relax and participate - struck a new path towards the future of classical concerts.
