Deliciously dark comedy comes to five Somerset villages

After their brilliant success at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, award winning theatre company Fat Content are bringing their edgy comedic sensation The Man I Cure to Dulverton Town Hall on Saturday 19 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.

Dulverton Town Hall will be temporarily transformed into Whitesands, using the sounds, tastes and smells of a wartime hospital.

This unusual and anticipated show dabbles courageously into the realms of experimental theatre, with surreal comedy that will particularly entertain fans of TV shows like the Mighty Boosh and League of Gentleman.

 “Always captivating…superb performances… a frightening and amusing rollercoaster of a tale”. Edinburgh Evening News

The show will take place on Saturday 19 March at Dulverton Town Hall. Tickets will be priced at £7 for adults and £3.50 for children. To book call 01398 323818 or buy online.
