A relatively new addition to Bristol's theatre scene, this imposing building was indeed a former tobacco factory and is an enormous red brick building, standing on North Street in Bedminster. It's a particularly welcome addition to south Bristol, which, until now, did not have a theatre space to call its own and is home to two acclaimed theatre companies - Show of Strength and Shakespeare at the Tobacco Factory. The latter have been praised for their productions of various Shakespeare plays (often ones neglected by larger companies) in both local and national press. It also plays host to various other travelling companies, comedy performers and is always worth a bet for more off-the-wall and unusual plays and performances. Recently opened in the basement is a branch of the popular Chinese/Thai restaurant Teohs - a welcome addition to the area.
