Saving Sophie is a Tarantino-inspired comedy-thriller by Newcastle University Theatre Society (NUTS), running for 50 minutes at Thistle Theatre. Set in a London flat — suitcase, sofa, coffee table, and the dead body of Charlie Matthews on the floor — bumbling hit-people comedy duo Jack and Jill stumble into the score of a lifetime when they cross paths with Alix Jones, a one-woman army on a revenge quest to save her sister Sophie. Age guidance is 16+, with warnings for scenes of violence and strong language.
Why see this show?
A fast, funny student production that takes the Tarantino playbook and runs with it — moral chaos, snappy dialogue, and a genuine mystery. Good value and unpredictable from the off.
