Countdown star Susie Dent will bring her new live show to Frome this month, offering audiences a fascinating look at the quirks and curiosities of the English language.
‘Britain’s best-loved wordsmith’ will appear at the Memorial Theatre on Saturday 16th May at 2pm with her latest tour, ‘Word Perfect’.
Following on from her hit show ‘The Secret Life of Words’, Susie is back with a brand-new collection of facts and stories from the wonderful world of words.
Have you ever wondered whether there’s a word for going to the fridge for the umpteenth time in search of something new? Or puzzled over the reason why a group of crows is called a ‘murder’, while owls form a ‘parliament’? Is teen slang actually designed to make us tear our hair out? And just how many words do we need for being drunk?
With the help of funny, insightful, and head-scratching examples, Susie will entertain and educate with her pick of language’s greatest hits. Word Perfect will remind us just how unpredictable, wayward, and utterly magical our mother tongue can be.
Tickets are available through the Memorial Theatre box office on 01373 462795 or visit their website for more information.
