About Frank and Percy

Walk through any park and you’re likely to see old men sitting on park benches and watching their dogs play. Have you ever wondered what are they talking about? Frank and Percy lets us eavesdrop on a conversation about the weather, dogs, each other, and much more as these two men meet, exchange pleasantries, and begin to form an unexpected but heartfelt relationship. But will they dare to take a chance, or will they stay in their comfort zones?

Frank and Percy premiered in Windsor earlier this year before transferring to Bath, and has been praised for having, “bark and bite in the most unexpected places” (The Evening Standard). This story about the bonds we find in the most mundane of places is a charming show that will enthrall just as much as the glitziest musical.
