Our week at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School

Last week we were invited to spend some time with students from the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School developing the latest script for The Chocolate Plant. During the week we explored our personal chocolate stories as well as the stories of industrial chocolate production in Britain using memories, historical sources, music, dance and a trusty old overhead projector. 

It was a fruitful and fascinating week! We’d like to extend our warmest thanks to all at the Bristol Old Vic theatre school but particularly to Jamie, Alec, Nina, Juliet, Jen, Darren, Charlie, Abby and Lindsey - not forgetting, of course, our lovely assistant director, Lisa, for their playfulness, talent and creativity. 

Thanks also to Jenny Stephens, Artistic Director of BOVTS, Phillippa Haynes, freelance producer, and Carrie Rhys-Davis,  TF+ Officer for coming to see our show and share at the end of the week.
