Bristol Old Vic Theatre School

My son is just starting a 3 year BA Acting course and was awed by the audition process, the friendliness of the staff and the helpfulness of older students. When he came out of the final audition (a full day affair) he was absolutely buzzing at what he had seen and experienced, and they skillfully dealt with managing disappointment by ensuring all candidates that to get this far was no fluke but a real expression of their skill and worth. If this is your calling, then it surely is worth tryin...

Lack of diversity.

Rather conservative and old fashioned set up.

My mum trained at the old vic bristol perhaps before the school was opened as she was performed in the north of england touring out of burnley during the 2nd world war, her working name kathleen hilditch. I googled maps from norwood in adelaide south Australia out of interest in my birthplace bristol.

My alma mater, and proud of it at that
