About Recent Cutbacks
Recent Cutbacks returns to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with Fly, You Fools! — a live, shot-for-shot parody of a beloved epic fantasy film. Three actors and a Foley artist band together in fellowship to deliver a jaw-dropping blend of comedy, physical theatre and live Foley. The company is also known for Hold On To Your Butts and KEVIN!!!!!. The result is a theatrical romp that is as technically inventive as it is laugh-out-loud funny, suitable for ages 8 and over.
Why see this show?
Three performers plus a Foley artist recreating an entire epic fantasy film live on stage is as daft and delightful as it sounds. Brilliant fun for curious theatregoers and film fans alike.
