Recent Cutbacks will return to Pleasance Courtyard at Edinburgh Fringe with FLY, YOU FOOLS!, a live parody compressing 178 minutes of iconic fantasy cinema into 60, featuring three actors and a Foley artist.
From the creators of Hold On To Your Butts, Recent Cutbacks return with a gloriously inventive UK premiere which transforms an epic fantasy film into a joyous, lo fi theatrical romp. This is not simply a parody but a love letter to the genre, brimming with clever theatrical tricks and affection for its source.
From the creators of smash-hit Hold On To Your Butts comes a new UK premiere!

A jaw-dropping blend of comedy, physical theatre, and live Foley that proves even the smallest of acting ensembles can change the course of the future.
