Compton & Bennett are a creative duo who have written and performed together for more than 15 years. They are well-known throughout Southwest Florida for their original stage shows, produced at the rate of about one a year, skewering topics such as over-development, environmental plunder and the hubris of public servitude. Of these, Southwest Florida is a fertile field.
C&B's shows range from casts of six to casts of two, with on-stage bands to simple piano accompaniment. They perform in theatres, country clubs and cabarets.
The last several months have been very good for Compton & Bennett. They have drawn international attention with their Assisted Living: The Musical ™. An Associated Press wire story on it appeared in more than 180 newspapers and stimulated coverage by BBC World News, BBC Radio Scotland, ABC Radio, Florida News Network and others.
