THE FROZEN ROMAN by Kate Bramley
Now booking for October- November 2022
They came, they saw, they built a wall… they went away again. Or did they?

for new ways to fight the imminent housing development that threatens village life as they know it.
The discovery of an ancient Roman site under foot may just throw them a lifeline if they can
somehow authenticate their mysterious findings. But things aren’t always what they seem!
Expect a double dose of comedy as the situation goes “ballisticus maximus” in this brand new original comedy from Kate Bramley and Badapple Theatre, based on an original song idea by Jez Lowe.
