About Recent Cutbacks
Recent Cutbacks presents a live, shot-for-shot parody of a beloved nineties Christmas film about a child left home alone. Four actors and a Foley artist perform a wildly inventive homage at the Forth venue, combining comedy, puppetry, live projections and Foley artistry. This is a UK premiere from the creators of previous shows Hold On To Your Butts and Fly, You Fools. The result is an astonishing blend of theatrical craft and outright silliness in the service of one of the most recognisable festive films of its era.
Why see this show?
Puppetry, live sound effects and a shot-for-shot recreation of a Christmas classic — all delivered with theatrical skill and genuine playfulness. A UK premiere that families and film fans alike should enjoy, and the kind of inventive stage show the Fringe does best.
