Theatre

Paul has worked in the theatre as a director, artistic director – he ran the BRISTOL OLD VIC for four years – and as a writer.

As artistic director of the BRISTOL OLD VIC, Paul Unwin radically changed the theatre’s audience. He asked Phylida Lloyd (MAMA MIA, THE IRON LADY) to be Associate Director, and Matthew Warchus (ART, GHOST) to be Assistant Director. Both did remarkable productions at the theatre during this time. Along with Steve Woodward, Foz Allen and the remarkable Sheila Pearce and others they made the Bristol Old Vic one of the most highly regarded regional theatres in the UK.
