A SEPIA-TONED doomed romance comes to town tomorrow.

Tooth+Nail Theatre's Hummingbird will be performed at Bridport Arts Centre at 7.30pm.

Edith Cole worked a dead-end job in a funeral parlour. Ralph Conti worked wealthy widows for a quick buck. Neither expected to fall in love. But once they did, they just kept on falling.

Inspired by the true story of the Lonely Hearts Killers, who gripped the imagination of 1950s America, Hummingbird is dark, compelling physical theatre.

Multi-award-winning, Lecoq-trained Tooth+Nail blend action, acrobatics and a distinctive visual style to tell a deviously touching tale of love and murder.

Tooth+Nail was founded in 2014 at the Ecole Jacques Lecoq in Paris.

An international company, it tells original, devised stories that combine humour and darkness in a visually rich and highly physical style.

Story and character are at the heart of their work. The question that drives them is: what can they do in a theatre that we can't do anywhere else?

Hummingbird stars Adam Gordon, Harriet Feeny, Preben Rongve and Francois Lecomte.

*Hummingbird, Bridport Arts Centre, Friday November 17, 7.30pm. Call the box office for tickets and more information.
