Award winning theatre company Fat Content are bringing their edgy comedic sensation, The Man I Cure. to five village halls this forthcoming January and March.
The Man I Cure is a site sympathetic theatrical experience, which tells the story of two suppressed nurses who become dependent upon their male captive. Based on the Russian folk tale, The Soldier and Death, this dark comedic love story brings its audience into the strange institution of ‘Whitesands Sanatorium’, where the medicine is full fat milk and the music of Glen Miller echoes hauntingly down the corridors.
Wadham School Crewkerne, The David Hall South Petherton, The Regal Theatre Minehead, Chilcompton Village Hall and Dulverton Town Hall are the five lucky venues that will be temporarily transformed into Whitesands, using the sounds, tastes and smells of a wartime hospital.
This unusual and anticipated show has a wide appeal, with surreal comedy that will particularly entertain fans of TV shows like the Mighty Boosh and League of Gentleman, while the beautiful song and dance routines will bring back memories of the Andrew’s Sisters, Glen Miller and The Chordettes.
“Always captivating…superb performances… a frightening and amusing rollercoaster of a tale”. Edinburgh Evening News
