2) Drenched – Third Man Theatre Company.
I liked Third Man’s work so much I became a patron of the company, essentially a vehicle for the visions of Dan Frost. They have a new show with dates so far in London this month and Edinburgh in August.
Daniel Drench. West Cornwall’s most prolific and unstable storyteller, presents a bewildering and potentially moving interpretation of the classic Cornish folk tale ‘The Mermaid of Zennor’.
Drenched is a one man comedy-theatre piece, challenging the form of a traditional solo performance with a combination of storytelling, character comedy and physical theatre.
