Thekla is a cargo ship moored in the Mud Dock area of Bristol’s Floating Harbour England. Originally brought to Bristol as the Old Profanity Showboat it was a late 1982 brainchild of novelist Ki Longfellow-Stanshall the wife of Vivian Stanshall. The showboat was based on the idea of creating owning and running a theatre on a seagoing ship and using it to showcase music of every sort (limited only by the size of the hold) including cabaret comedy plays musicals and poetry events.
