Bulgaria, 2013. Anti-government protestors have taken to the streets and the last stretch of unspoilt coastline is under threat. Caught up in these volatile circumstances, what's left of two splintering families face decisions with long-lasting repercussions. Boyko dreams of owning a house with a garden; Tsveta is planning to turn her hotel into a hi-tech palace of gadgetry; and Lazar wants everything and doesn't care how he gets it. Paul, meanwhile, is flying in from Gatwick to meet the Bulgarian Facebook friend who might just be the love of his life. Coastal Defences takes us from a politically charged Sofia to the natural beauty of the Black Sea, exploring a country we hear so much about, but know so little of. Preceded by Canopy of Stars, a short play by Miriam Battye. Running time: 1hr 15mins. Age recommendation: 14+| 7 Oct 14 to 18 Oct 14 | The Tobacco Factory Theatres Bristol, City of Bristol Performance Details => Venue archive |
