About Recent Cutbacks
Two actors and a Foley artist perform a live, shot-for-shot parody of the greatest dinosaur film of all time. Returning to the Fringe for three shows only, this triumphant tour-de-force of comedy, physical theatre and live Foley comes from Recent Cutbacks — the company behind Fly, You Fools! and KEVIN!!!!! The show previously played Off-Broadway and the West End before arriving in Edinburgh. It runs for 60 minutes at the Forth venue and is suitable for audiences aged 8 and over. Audience participation is involved.
Why see this show?
A genuinely clever piece of live performance that earns its laughs through precision and invention rather than nostalgia. Whether or not you love the source film, the craft of recreating it with two people and a Foley table is its own spectacle.
