Living Spit's Beauty and the Beast

About

As North-Somerset based, Two-Person Comedy Theatre Companies go, Living Spit are widely known as being one of the most physically attractive to ever grace the British stage. However, in this tale as old as time, one of them will be forced to portray a hideous, foul-tempered beast. But which one will it be?

From the creators of the Offie award-nominated Six Wives of Henry VIII, the 2024 show of the year (StageTalk) There's Something About Typhoid Mary and the "beguiling rib-tickler" (The Times) Living Spit's Frankenstein The Musical comes a re-worked, monstrously-musical, Disney-defying version of this classic French tale about what it means to be truly beautiful in the 18th century.

"Living Spit's deadpan, well-seasoned repartee pays dividends in this playfully updated version of the 18th century French fable." The Telegraph

"A well-loved tale, told with warm-hearted silliness and wit, gently reminding us that beauty is more than meets the eye." Intermission

"Rollicking good fun – deserves a standing ovation every night." Bristol 24/7
