Venue: The Folk of Gloucester, 99-103 Westgate Street, GL1 2PG

A new theatre festival for Gloucester to celebrate International Theatre Day with local and national companies. Join us for our weekend-long showcase of acting and writing talent! Enjoy a varied programme of hour-long plays in our beautiful historic building with cafe and bar.

Programme includes:

The Elver Wars
A sketch-based romp through the history and science of the European Eel - including the time Gloucester became the scene of a very slippery conflict! Written by Jessica Law.

Something Rotten, or The Claudius Complex
Writer-performer Robert Cohen reassesses the events of Shakespeare’s classic through the eyes of the Prince’s homicidal yet undeniably hard-working uncle-turned-father, King Claudius. Directed by Jenny Rowe.

Phuckets and Rainbows
Chaos, comedy and catharsis collide in the one woman show written and performed by Lizzie Bean – a mum, wife and friend. Where do we find ourselves as we hit midlife, and what lessons brought us here?

Dancing With Auntie
It’s New Year’s Eve 1967 in Wythenshawe, Manchester. Two actor raconteurs bring eight characters to life to tell the story of a New Year party like no other! Written by Bill Cronshaw of Dreamshed Theatre.

The Smoking Show
A mixture of stand up, drama, autobiography and the occasional rant exploring writer/actor John Bassett's 40-year relationship with cigarettes in a changing society. By Spaniel In The Works Theatre Company.

Any Scene Will Do
A fast-paced improvised comedy show performed by The Fab Libs, where audience dreams spark spontaneous scenes.

Tickets are just £8 or £6 for concessions. Performance times and more details are available on The Folk of Gloucester ticket page.
