Tom Hiccup's Well
Free Roam Theatre • Semi-professional company
About the show
Tom Hiccup's Well is a one-woman storytelling show by Free Roam Theatre, presented at Clover Studio. The folk of Grendel have always known to respect Tom Hiccup, the old spirit who will leave you alone if you treat him well — but anger him and anything might happen. When a man commits the ultimate act of cowardice, a woman's spirit gains terrifying embodiment. This dark folk horror tale explores desire, murder, and capricious Nature. Free Roam Theatre is the company behind The Red Room. The show runs for 45 minutes and is suitable for ages twelve and above.
Why see this show?
A dark folk horror told with the intimacy and precision of a skilled one-woman show, Tom Hiccup's Well taps into the unsettling power of old spirits and old wrongs. Ideal for audiences who want something genuinely atmospheric at the Fringe.
