⭐ ROMANTICS ANONYMOUS – ONE NIGHT ONLY LIVE PERFORMANCE ANNOUNCED ⭐
For one night only, the Bristol Old Vic will put on their first performance with a live audience in their 254-year-old auditorium since March: Wise Children’s beautiful Romantics Anonymous.
This is in addition to the live streamed performances, previously announced.
Casting has also been confirmed, with Marc Antolin (Jean-René), Carly Bawden (Angélique), Me’sha Bryan (Suzanne/Mimi), Harry Hepple (Ludo/Remi), Laura Jane Matthewson (Young Woman), Sandra Marvin (Magda/Brigitte/Dr Maxim), Philip Cox (Father/Pierre/Receptionist), Gareth Snook (Mercier/Mumbler/Marini) and Omari Douglas (Salesman/Fred), who joins the cast.
Angélique is a gifted chocolate maker crippled by social anxiety and Jean-René is the boss of a failing chocolate factory. Angélique is so timid, she faints when people look at her; Jean-René so awkward he relies on self-help tapes and is prone to embarrassing sweating. When Angélique takes a job in Jean-René’s struggling factory, a fragile love affair unfolds.
Funny, tender and painfully awkward, Romantics Anonymous is a delicious love story about breaking the mould and finding the courage to be happy.
Directed by Emma Rice (Malory Towers, Wise Children, Tristan & Yseult).
The one-off live performance will be held on 27th September, with booking available from 14th September.
YEEEEEESSS! ! !
