Not a work in progress. No progress will be made. This is a work in regress.
In an experiment that is like Bagpuss except horrible, Frankie Thompson is presenting horrible things. Things she’s picked out of her ear, found stuck to the bottom of her shoe, retrieved from the back of the sofa and unexpectedly found in her soup.
Please do not come if you’re expecting content, plot and/or structure. Any horrible things that are exactly the flavour she’s looking for will stay, all other horrible things will be recycled responsibly.
If you laugh it’s comedy, if you don’t it’s live art.
