Theatre
True Brits
Bristol’s Blue Brook Productions present Vinay Patel’s play, which captures the heartache caused by the devastating actions of a handful of people. Moving between the aftermath of the 7/7 bombings and the celebrations of the London Olympics, True Brits is the coming-of-age story about a young man who wants to remain part of a British society that now distrusts him on sight. An honest, humorous and hopeful play about wanting to love and be loved.
Performer Maanuv Thiara trained at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. His theatre experience has included playing Cornwall in King Lear (Bristol Old Vic). On completing the tour of True Brits Maanuv goes straight into the cast of the West End transfer of the Almeida production of Hamlet alongside Andrew Scott and Juliet Stevenson.
Director Ed Viney is a former assistant director at the Royal Shakespeare Company, who trained at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and the National Theatre.
