About Fly, You Fools!
“Genius, sheer genius” “If I had a sixth star at my disposal, I’d gladly add it to the rating” - The Times
From the team behind hit comedy Hold On To Your Butts.
Three actors and a Foley artist band together in fellowship to recreate The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring in a live, shot-for-shot parody delivering 60-minutes of Middle-earth mayhem.
Fly, You Fools! is a jaw-dropping blend of physical comedy, live sound effects, mime, character impersonations and lo-fi spectacle.
Following two sell-out Edinburgh Fringe seasons, Recent Cutbacks’ riotous parody comes to Southwark Playhouse Borough from 25 November, marking the 25th anniversary of the first The Lord of the Rings film.
