Up In Arms

Audiences loved Barney Norris’s Eventide when it played in our Brewery Theatre in November 2015. They’re now thrilled to present his moving new play and welcome acclaimed touring theatre company Up In Arms back to Bristol.

Eddie and Carol were lovers once, but their lives went in different directions. Now they meet again on a park bench in a town full of memories, and find something still burns between them.

On the country’s southern margin where the towns give way to the English Channel, both search for the centre of their lives. Will they find a way to let go of the past for the sake of their futures?

Alice Hamilton’s productions of Barney Norris’s plays Visitors and Eventide for Up In Arms have been described as 'heartbreaking' by the New York Times. Here she works again with the Critics Circle and Off West End Award-winning playwright and novelist and we’re sure the results will once again be rather special.
