Fosgate: Ferret Loan Officer - Devising Original Theatre Springfield

Fosgate:

Ferret Loan Officer

Book, Music, & Lyrics by

Ned Wilkinson

Ned describes Fosgate as “a gentle Pythonesque spoof musical of “The Merchant Of Venice”, set in modern day Blackpool, played by eight actors portraying anthropomorphic animals.” Recently seen at the 2025 Orlando Fringe Festival, Seth Kubersky of Orlando Weekly wrote “An ideal all-ages show, Fosgate offers enough PG-rated animal antics to entertain the kids, while the social subtext and innuendo will sail over little heads for their parents to enjoy.”
