Fortnight by Proto-type Theater - back in Bristol

Fortnight is a piece of poetic interactive theatre coming to Bristol as part of Mayfest. It will encourage you to peel back the layers of where you live, to look for secrets, surprises, to meet someone new... Or to hide in a crowd.

Back in 2010 Watershed commissioned Proto-type Theater, as part of Theatre Sandbox, to explore how theatre practitioners can use pervasive technologies. The beginnings of Fortnight were the outcome.

We are now delighted to be working with Proto-type, Mayfest and Bristol Old Vic to bring the full version of Fortnight to Bristol from Mon 2 - Sun 15 May.

Take part in Fortnight and for a period of two weeks you will receive secret invites, poetic nudges and mysterious communications that will ask you to look again and look anew at the way you navigate the journeys through your home; through your city.

To participate: please call Bristol Old Vic Box Office on 0117 987 7877 and purchase a ticket (£15.00). You must register before midnight on 27 April.

Please note: To participate you must live in Bristol postcodes BS1-15.

Put a star in your diary by Mon 2 May when magical things will start happening. Put a small star by Sun 8, Wed 11 and Sat 14 May when there just might be something you want to be free to do.

Find details on the Mayfest website.
