Edinburgh Fringe Festival hit Hold On To Your Butts, which is described as an “hilarious shot-by-shot remake of Jurassic Park” is coming to Leicester next month.
With the use of only two actors, Natalie Rich and Matt Zambrano, and a Foley artist who creates the sound effects live on stage, they recreate each scene and perform every character (including the dinosaurs) between just the three of them.
Through comedy, physical theatre and inventive use of simple props – from cardboard cut-outs, traffic cones and muffin tins – they aim to present the game-changing CGI of the iconic film live and in low-fi.
The tour begins at the Curve Theatre in Leicester on February 7 and is followed by performances across the country.
Director and producer Kristin McCarthy Parker said, “Our goal was not to recreate the movie, but to recreate the feeling of seeing the movie for the first time. To use humour and ingenuity to recreate the awe, wonder, and joy of watching those dinosaurs walk across the screen.
“Our usage of Foley and live sound effects helps to create an individual and exuberent viewing experience, as well as the accompaniment of both live and pre-recorded a cappella music.”
