When I Was Your Age, Movies Were Called Plays.
Okay, five words: "Princess Bride, The Play." Sure, that's only four words, but we think the fifth word, OMFG, is implied. (So, nine words total. Whatever.) At The Dark Room Theatre, Impossible Productions (the group that brought us stage versions of Reservoir Dogs, Dr. Strangelove, and Clue) seems to be attempting to live up to its name: you can't deny that you're curious about how they'll pull it off. The Fire Swamp...Andre The Giant...The Cliffs of Insanity...all that jousting - can they do that on stage? Without them, what are you left with? Well, a really awesome plot, actually, so whether or not they've got killer rodents, the idea's got a lot of potential. Will it work? There's only one way to find out: tickets are $12.50 online, or $15 at the door. Curtain goes up December 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 17, 18 and 19. For their next adaptation, we humbly request that Impossible Productions team up with The Odeon Muppetational and The Dead Hensons to recreate The Muppet Movie.
