Frank, perhaps not the most successful street salesman in the world, one day has an argument with the street musician Fri. Frank’s eager sales methods and noisy music do not match Fri’s tender accordion play. Does one of them have to move to the shadows or is there a place in the sun for them both? This is a story about carts and friendship.

The style in Fri and Frank by Grenland Friteater was a mix of gags, slapstick and humour.
