RANK - Now on Tour

Premiering at the Merlin Theatre in Frome before embarking on a South West tour, OffPiste Theatre presents ‘RANK’ – based on a true story by Frome-based writer and actor, Dan Gaisford.

A taxi driver’s life is turned upside down by an epic encounter with a young woman and her two small children who use his services to travel cross-country to buy a horse. As the odyssey unfolds and the woman’s situation becomes known, the taxi driver must decide whether to get the job done or act like a decent human being. But as he battles to tell his tale against the backdrop of an ever-ringing phone, it is apparent he has become far more involved in the lives of his passengers than he ever intended.

With award-winning director Archie Rowell making his theatre directing debut, RANK explores working class men, what we do when everything starts to go wrong and if we can truly trust the people around us.
