Frome Drama presents a selection of Craig Taylor's miniature plays - each a snapshot of life in twenty-first century Britain. Within these little worlds life is laugh-out-loud funny, sometimes tender, often eccentric, occasionally tragic and strangely familiar. Eight actors take on forty-four roles in a rollercoaster ride.
A site-specific script in hand performance of a selection of The Brothers Grimm Stories. Can you cheat death? Is Red Riding Hood as sweet as we think? How does a father choose a worthy heir? Adult folk tales - not the versions we tell the children!
The hugely entertaining, poetry, comedy cabaret the Hip Yak Poetry Shack is back with the much loved and lionised Frome Festival Poetry Slam. A quick-fire, incredibly cuddly, knock-out, poetry competition. Prepare for a fun, friendly and exhilarating night of poetry, hosted by the Hip Yak trio, Chris Redmond, Jonny Fluffypunk and Liv Torc.
Artists, craftspeople and designer-makers will be selling their work directly to the public at the Summer Art Car Boot, organised by Black Swan Arts, Frome’s community arts centre. Meet the makers, buy affordable art without commission and support local creatives!
