A COMEDY duo will bring their award-winning Gloriator show to Lyme Regis tomorrow (18).

Spitz and Co are a French and English duo - with their latest show set for a performance at the Marine Theatre from 8pm.

Gloriator is an inventive, physical and fun spoof of the Ridley Scott film Gladiator, which features Russell Crowe.

It is 15 years since the epic Hollywood film Gladiator was brought to the big screen. Now you can follow the glamorous French actress, Gloria Delaneuf, and her hapless UK tour manager, Josephine Cunningham, as they stage their riotously funny stage version, Gloriator.

Gloria is world-famous. She’s well-versed in mime, mask, and the mysteries of stage-craft. Her UK tour manager Josephine is not. Together they have created Gloriator, an awe-inspiring production of bravery, honour, and costumes made out of cardboard.

Russell Crowe may not be available, but they are determined it will be a show you’ll never forget. It’s wonderfully inventive, physical, and very silly.

The acclaimed comedy show was created with the help of Spymonkey's Aitor Basauri and Publick Transport’s Angus Barr. The production was developed as part of the Bristol Old Vic's Ferment, and was named winner of the Critics' Choice Award at Exeter Ignite 2014.

Gloriator is Spitz and Co’s first show, but they have toured it all over the UK - from Torquay to Darlington - and have been overwhelmed by the audience response. The duo consists of Susie Donkin, involved in the writing of CBBC's Horrible Histories, and Pauline Morel.

The performance will run for approximately one hour. For more information, please call Lyme Regis Tourist Information Centre on 01297 442138.
