OPEN STAGE PRESENTS
Hammer Horror
The Battle of Wounded Knee
by Michael Holland
Performances: 28 September to 2 October 2010 at 8pm
Tickets £10 each, £5 for Concessions - Ticket enquiries and sales at TicketSource 
Film buff Tom doesn’t just like the movies he devours them, digests them, and then spits them back out at random. He lives his life through them and who could blame him; it’s all he has left. When Stuart rudely disrupts his special weekend viewing Tom feels some retribution is called for but how far will he go? Rita’s whirlwind romance with the hapless Dave is about to be derailed by inevitable tragedy. Julie, Rita’s Mum is not happy as she senses a perfect family life full of love, dreams and expectations is beginning to disintegrate under the spectre of heroin. A veritable multitude of Hollywood quotations, a pastiche silent movie, gritty kitchen sink drama and a good measure of surreal torture create a heady mix that can only end one way. Or will it?
In what has been a prolific first two years since its conception, Open Stage now presents this, its fifth production. A comedic yet sardonic look at the destructive nature of addiction, mental health and those affected by it, Hammer Horror also takes into consideration the question of the moral high ground and who exactly holds it in a world where morality is thin on the ground. |
