SPRING TO SUMMER - NEXT SEASON
The theatre's fifth season! Featuring Jane Austen to Terry Pratchett, and Musical Superstars to Frankenstein! In April we passed our 50th show milestone, and we have been humbled by the continuing support of Bristol's theatregoers and theatrical community.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Bierkeller Theatre this summer!

NEWS:
We are delighted to announce that we are now incorporated into a number of Bath Spa University courses. Students will gain hands on experience working with the theatre and visiting companies, and in turn we and the productions will benefit from their marketing, publicity and design skills (to name but a few!).
MAILING LIST:
We will send occasional information about our seasons, future productions and offers. And, no spam - ever!
WORK WITH US!
Over the past year we have worked with over 50 productions, ranging from local school groups to professional productions. We are always on the lookout for new ideas or work. If you'd like a chat, a look around the venue or to present some work, please give Alex a call on 0117-926-8514 or email us at info@BierkellerTheatre.com.
SPOTTED IN THE ASS LIBRARY:
‘Spotted in the ASS’ is a Facebook page which reproduces student’s thoughts and feelings as they work towards deadlines in Bristol’s Arts and Social Sciences Library. As a student sends in their musings - an attractive girl/boy they’ve spotted, loud music that has annoyed them, or humorous conversation they’ve overheard- these are assigned a number and put up on the group for people to enjoy and comment on. Within three weeks, our team of 10 writers and directors will transform the Bierkeller Theatre into the ASS library, taking the funniest and weirdest of these stories and bringing to life the students who have shared their moments with the world.

THAT MOMENT
“Not to be missed” - The Stage
★★★★★ - Venue Magazine
This side-splittingly funny satire on modern British theatre explores the ludicrous extent to which people will go to promote themselves and their careers in our vain-glorious world of would-be celebrities. As ever Second Face reveals extraordinary inventiveness as one actress switches between 20 different roles at breakneck speed. The much acclaimed That Moment by award-winning writer Dougie Blaxland comes to Bierkeller Theatre after being seen at The Mission, and an extended run at the legendary King's Head Theatre, Islington.
SPECIAL EVENT!
Students from Bath Spa University present their graduate short films from the Film Production course. Expect expert judges and some very special screenings! This event was devised as part of the Bierkeller Theatre's partnership with Bath Spa University.

MISS. GIVINGS
Anita Boult is played by Debbie Bridge whose performance work is capturing the attention of UK audiences...
“a sublime voice and beautifully executed role … amazing”
– The Stage
Anita’s just moved back home. Not to Mom and Dad’s, you understand, just out of New York and back to Peekskill – and it’s NOT an admission of defeat; just a strategy for recharging batteries and planning a new assault on Broadway. Observe, then, as Anita seeks to affect her return to the bright lights, grappling with hostile agents, indifferent casting directors, doubting parents, demanding boyfriends and, worst of all, high school rivals still somehow hogging the local limelight. Meantime, Anita will treat you to gems known and lesser known from such American song writing legends as Samuel Barber, Leonard Bernstein, Amy Beach, Aaron Copland and George & Ira Gershwin.

ROUSE YE WOMEN
TERRY PRATCHETT'S GOING POSTAL
The year is 1888 and the venerable artist Paul Gauguin has been invited to Arles in the south of France, by his troubled acquaintance Vincent Van Gogh. Their intention, to establish a commune of artists with Gauguin at the helm and inspire a second renaissance. As time wears on however, the two begin to realise that their differences run much deeper than their artistic methods...
This is the story of the chainmaking women from the Black Country - once known as the white slaves of England. In 1910, after a ten week strike, the women won a landmark victory that established the first minimum wage in this country. Our interpretation of this dramatic story is an enthralling and enlivening piece of music theatre. Based on music inspired by the sound of the forges, six women sing, play metallic percussion and use choreographed movement to convey the story. Expect achingly beautiful songs, original strike songs and exciting percussive interludes.
Moist von Lipwig was a con artist and a fraud and a man faced with a life choice: be hanged, or put Ankh-Morpork's ailing postal service back on its feet. It was a tough decision. But he's got to see that the mail gets though, come rain, hail, sleet, dogs, the Post Office Workers Friendly and Benevolent Society, the evil chairman of the Grand Trunk Semaphore Company, and a midnight killer. Getting a date with Adora Bell Dearheart would be nice, too. Maybe it'll take a criminal to succeed where honest men have failed, or maybe it's a death sentence either way. Or perhaps there' s a shot at redemption in the mad world of the mail, waiting for a man who's prepared to push the envelope. Brilliant stage adaptation by Stephen Briggs of Terry Pratchett's best-selling novel.
