Two fantastic shows spun out from the Bristol Improv Theatre’s own Unscripted Players\, the UK’s first am-dram company dedicated to improv\, return to our stage this summer… \n  \nIn a very special one-off Double Bill audiences will have a second chance to watch Head Talks and I Don’t Know What You Did Last Summer. First performed in our Summer 2024 season and now further developed and returning after features at venues such as Cloak and the People’s Republic of Stokes Croft (Improv Spotlight). \n  \nThink you’ve seen it all before? You’d be wrong… with completely made-up experts flung into chaos by unseen presentations and a group of friends battling comedically to survive an undetermined force\, this is a reunion you don’t want to miss! \n  \nHead Talks \nTake your seats for a TED-style talk like you’ve never seen before (and will never see again). This is HEAD -Talks. \n  \nAn esteemed panel of ‘experts’ are tasked to give presentations on any topic imaginable – from life-changing experiences to ground-breaking discoveries to a new invention that’s set to change the world. The only thing is… they haven’t seen the accompanying slide-show before… \n  \nCome and watch as the world’s brightest minds do battle with surprising slides. They’ll grapple with goofy graphs\, stumble over stupendous stock-images and get taken aback by tricksome texts. Accompanied by a charming but devious host\, HEAD-Talks is sure to be a show full of hilarity (but perhaps less full of facts!). \n  \nI Don’t Know What You’ll Do This Summer \nThis summer a group of friends set out on the trip of their lives. But all is not well as a mysterious and yet to be determined force puts them all in peril. \n  \nWill they blindly ignore sensible warnings from strangers in petrol stations? Why can’t they just use their phones to get help? How could anyone think this is worth a direct to dvd sequel? \n  \nSee how it all goes wrong for our characters and their friendships. \n  \nA comedy inspired by teen horror films from the 90’s and 00’s. \n  \n Unscripted Players \nThe Unscripted Players is the UK’s first am-dram company dedicated to improvised theatre. The group was created to give everyone the opportunity to experience the fabulous and rapidly growing art form that is improv. We aim to provide a supportive and creative environment where total newbies and old-hands alike have the chance to improvise and perform! And it’s completely free to join!
