The Fabulous Old Spot Theatre Company
Our shows always contain physical action, highly developed plots, excellent music, a lot of comedy, as well as scarey bits. We try and reflect the lives, concerns and attitudes of the people of gloucestershire and surrounds and put them into our comic shows.
We use traditional commedia dell’arte masks and walk the fine line between acting and entertaining. An Old Spot Show is always a good night out. We have performed for Minsterworth primary children, for Longlevens WI and the theatrical elite of Cheletenham (not to mentioned subterranean fun lovers of Clearwell caves).
In 2009 we are starting a two year development plans to create a national touring repertoire, allowing us to bring us stories and sagas further afield.

A Comedy of Coming and Going
By Olly Crick, with
Farmer has had enough and is downsizing, moving to a new house
with double glazing and central heating. Staying behind are his tenant,
his wife’s gardening help, Mike the Dairyman and growing family, and
all are in fear of change, losing their jobs, their homes or the chance to
live in the countryside. Does Farmer care, and if so can he do anything
about ? Come and see a country mile’s worth of character acting, comedy
, chaos and country cunning.
