"fortis fortuna adiuvat."


Welcome!


Charlie Bethel's latest work is an amazing adaptation of Henry Fieldings 1731 play Tom Thumb, or the Tragedy of Tragedies.

This hilarious burlesque explores the English mythology of Tom Thumb, and combines a satirical look at the nature of heroes with Bethel's unique talents in bringing classic tales from literature to life in a one-person format. Directed and designed by Anthony Paul; sound by Sean Healey.

A solo, 18th century-style romp, bawdy and lascivious, with Heroes, Villains, courtiers, maids of honor, Ghosts, pages, guards, Rebels, daggers, Cow, trumpets, thunder, lightning, &c, &c, &c, and other Decorations proper to Tragedy. Music, song, dance, intrigue, love affairs, confetti cannons, swordfights and death. Solo show. Fast and funny. We kid you not. See the News & Reviews page for other people's comments.

Lots more info will be on this page soon!
