Illyria: Pinocchio
2026-09-06 15:00 - 16:30 | Merlin Theatre, Bath Road, Frome, BA11 2HG
Carlo Collodi’s classic is a perennial favourite. It is the third most translated book in the world, having appeared in no fewer than 260 languages since it was published in 1883, and has never been out of print. Childless toymaker Geppetto buys a piece of wood to make a puppet, little realising the chaos he is about to unleash. The puppet yearns for adventure and runs away, but instead of excitement, only finds glorious attractions containing hidden dangers.
He returns home, hoping to be showered with sympathy and learns his tribulations are just beginning. Running away hasn’t worked; lying won’t work; he must become a real boy to achieve the belonging he craves. Collodi describes the development from puppet to real boy in the same way that useless green timber is matured into useful, well-seasoned wood – a transformation only achieved through trials of water and fire. Illyria celebrates this magical coming-of-age tale in a thrilling musical outdoor show.
This performance will be outdoors at the E.C.O.S. Amphitheatre. Please bring blankets, cushions, and chairs. We welcome picnics, but please buy drinks from our bar. In the event of bad weather, this event will move inside.

Illyria: the Pirates of Penzance
2026-09-12 18:00 - 20:00 | Merlin Theatre, Bath Road, Frome, BA11 2HG
Frederick, accidentally apprenticed to Pirates as a child, is indentured to the Pirate King until his 21st birthday. On the day he reaches 21 he leaves the ship, announcing that he now intends to dedicate his life to the Pirates’ destruction. The Pirate King checks the contract’s small print – and realises that as Frederick’s birthday is 29th February on a leap year he has only had four birthdays and is actually indentured for another 63 years. With only the Penzance constabulary to protect him, will Frederick be forced to serve the pirates until he is 84? And will his sweetheart, Mabel, wait for him that long?
Performed by a six-strong cast of actors/singers with fully orchestrated accompaniment, The Pirates of Penzance boasts such gloriously memorable songs as “To be a Pirate King!”; “Modern Major General” and “A Policeman’s Lot is Not a Happy One”. With razor-sharp satire and glittering wit, it remains as fresh as if it had been written today.
This performance will be outdoors at the E.C.O.S. Amphitheatre. Please bring blankets, cushions, and chairs. We welcome picnics, but please buy drinks from our bar. In the event of bad weather, this event will move inside.

Ten Minute Call: the Queens of Nassau
2026-10-29 19:30 - 21:30 | Merlin Theatre, Bath Road, Frome, BA11 2HG
Set sail for a bold new musical adventure inspired by the true stories of infamous pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Read.
The Queens of Nassau is a fierce, emotional and rebellious folk-punk musical about identity, freedom, survival and the price of living life on your own terms. From the streets of Ireland and England to the lawless waters of the Caribbean, two women fight to escape the lives the world chose for them and carve their own names into history.
Packed with soaring songs, raw emotion, dark humour and thunderous energy, this original production brings the golden age of piracy vividly to life.
With corrupt governors, dangerous lovers, naval hunters and the legendary Calico Jack standing in their way, Anne and Mary must decide what they are willing to sacrifice for freedom.
A story of fire, defiance and legacy, The Queens of Nassau asks: what does it truly mean to live free?
This production contains themes and depictions of violence, death, execution, imprisonment, discrimination, misogyny, gender disguise/identity concealment, references to pregnancy and illness, strong language, alcohol misuse, and scenes of emotional distress.

For the first time in forever, experience the musical phenomenon that has taken the world by storm! Based on the Academy Award-winning animated feature film, Disney’s Frozen includes all the film’s beloved songs by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, along with new music written exclusively for the stage.
In the beautiful mountainous kingdom of Arendelle, Princesses Anna and Elsa grow up sheltered inside their castle, isolated from the world and increasingly distant from each other. When Elsa is crowned queen, the magical powers she’s desperately tried to conceal from her sister take control, and she flees into the mountains. As a ferocious winter descends on Arendelle, Anna sets off on an epic journey to find Elsa and bring her home – with the help of hardworking ice harvester Kristoff, his loyal reindeer Sven, and a happy-go-lucky snowman named Olaf.
Full of magic, humor, and a stunning musical score, Frozen is a powerful tale of sisterhood, acceptance, and finding the real meaning of true love.
