Baby Reindeer Producer Brings acclaimed US Indie-Folk Duo, The Bengsons, to Bristol Old Vic with their Moving and Intimate Musical Storytelling Show, Ohio

Married American Indie-Folk duo, The Bengsons (Shaun and Abigail Bengson) make their Bristol Old Vic debut this September, fresh from their acclaimed sell-out Edinburgh Festival Fringe debut. Ohio is an exhilarating and celebratory true story about losing faith and finding hope in the darkest of places, from the Olivier Award-winning producers of Fleabag and Baby Reindeer. 
                                           
When Shaun turned his back on the church, he found a new home in music. Now confronted with acute degenerative hearing loss passed down from his father, he’s making the choice to live joyfully in the face of life's many unanswerable questions.

Ohio is an intimate and rousing new musical experience featuring creative captions.

The Bengsons said:
"After many years of performing in New York City and across the USA, we are so delighted to be coming to the UK this year with Ohio, and to be working with our longstanding collaborator and friend, director Caitlin Sullivan. This piece is deeply personal to us and is what we are calling an ecstatic grief concert—both a homage to the places we have loved and left behind, and an invitation to audiences to join us in sonic communion. We are thrilled to be supported by phenomenal producers Francesca Moody and piece by piece productions, who make theatre with such care and creativity and share our joyful dedication to access and making disability art.”
