Bristol has a long tradition in the performing arts. A renowned centre of cultural entertainment, the city hosts the annual Mayfest event every spring. Visitors taking a
car hire in the United Kingdom can see some of the most experimental and thought-provoking theatre in Europe during the festival, as performers and acting troupes from across the continent travel to Bristol to stage plays, improvisation shows and more.
This year's event takes place from May 17-27 at a number of venues across the city, including the Bristol Old Vic theatre. Highlights of the programme include The Furies, a modern interpretation of the legend of Clytemnestra performed by Birmingham's Kindle Theatre; Exposure, an examination of how people perceive themselves and each other by performance artist Jo Bannon; The Articulate Hand, a collaboration between performer Andrew Dawson and neuroscientist Jonathan Cole; and Melanie Wilson's Autobiographer, an intriguing tale of mental illness and personal identity.
After seeing some of the performances during the event, attendees can relax in the festival's lounge, The Blind Tiger, and meet other like-minded visitors. A
car hire in Bristol is an ideal way for culture vultures to reach the various theatres participating in this year's Mayfest.
