The Last Tuesday Society proudly presents ‘Pimp My Play’ at the 2012 Melbourne Fringe Festival
Step 1: Take a boring old play
Step 2: Divide up the scenes amongst the “collaborating artists” (ie people roped in at the last minute)
Step 3: Put all the pieces back together in order
Step 4: Present theatrical equivalent of Frankenstein to horrified/delighted audience
The work getting the PMP treatment this time? Tennessee Williams’ ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’. The ‘Stellahhhh!’ one.
Will a story get told? We don’t know
Will the audience achieve catharsis? Probably not
Will Alison Croggon review it? No
Will it be on the cover of Realtime? Only if we call it ‘live art’.
The movie had Marlon Brando in it. Before he exploded.
Presented by such theatrical ingenues as:
The List Operators
Thomas Henning
Lessons with Luis
Simoncee Page Jones
Bron Batten
Poet Laureate Telia Nevile
