Extempore Theatre in association with Die Nasty and KPS Productions presents
7pm on Friday 29th May to 9pm on Sunday 31st May
‘Hilarious! Like nothing you’ve ever seen before. Late night clubbers and early morning joggers unite!” Time Out Critics’ Choice
‘Fearsomely able improvisers…. Extempore Theatre is the hothouse for British longform improv.’ ★★★★ The Financial Times
Back for an 8th extraordinary year.
An improvised comedy soap-opera in twenty-five episodes.
Welcome to Tinseltown! Where Sleepless Studios are celebrating 100 years in the movie business.
An hilarious homage to all things Hollywood, featuring leading improvisers from the UK and overseas, playing a range of lovable and eccentric characters in modern-day Los Angeles. Screen sirens, budding starlets, struggling writers, crazed directors, big-shot producers… it takes all sorts to make the most successful movie studio in the world!
A core group of around 20 actors will play the whole 50 hours, going without sleep, with guest performers dropping in from time to time. There will be a band throughout and all night bar! Come for an episode, or a few, or stay for the whole thing!
There is also a special ‘Family Episode’ (Sunday 11am-1pm) where the action is suitable for children.
Originally created by award-winning Canadian troupe ‘Die Nasty’, the event was brought to London by maverick theatre genius Ken Campbell and since then has been produced by Adam Meggido and Extempore Theatre as an annual event (Hoxton Hall and The Park Theatre).
As the performers become increasingly sleep-deprived they lose the ability to censor themselves and an extraordinary new playing style emerges. Wild, unpredictable, funny and engaging, this is live theatre at its most exciting.
It’s like watching an entire DVD box-set of your favourite drama in one viewing.
‘Absolutely incredible. This isn’t theatre – its blood sports!’ (Whatsonstage.com – ★★★★)
