“Frome – The Fecund Coming” – the comedy walking tour by mothers of theatrical invention Rare Species – is coming back by popular demand, every third Thursday of the month August to December inclusive.
“A brilliant piece of immersive/site-specific/promenade street theatre with unforgettable highlights” Crysse Morrison
“Rare Species are adept at taking a tiny granule of fact about the town, and expanding it into deliciously bonkers takes on all sorts of things.They are skilled and sharp performers, adept at improvising comedy from any haphazard thing that happens on the way, before returning to the hilarious script. If you’re after finding out the actual history of the town, this is not for you; but for incessant and imaginative laughs it can’t be beat.”
**** 4 stars John Christopher Wood, Theatre Bath
“The tour was a perfect example of everything that I love about Frome, thoroughly bonkers, madly creative and downright hilarious” Ciara Nolan
