More 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.

Southwark Playhouse is all about telling stories and inspiring the next generation of storytellers and theatre makers. It aims to facilitate the work of new and emerging theatre practitioners from early in their creative lives to the start of their professional careers.

Through our schools work we aim to introduce local people at a young age to the possibilities of great drama and the benefits of using theatre skills to facilitate learning. Each year we engage with over 5,000 school pupils through free schools performances and long-term in school curriculum support.

Through our Young Company (YoCo), a youth-led theatre company for local people between the ages of 16-21, we aim to introduce young people to the many and varied disciplines of running a semi-professional theatre company. YoCo provides a training ground to build confidence and inspire young people towards a career in the arts.

Our theatre programme aims to facilitate and showcase the work of some of the UK’s best up and coming talent with a focus on reinterpreting classic plays and contemporary plays of note. Our two atmospheric theatre spaces, within the vaults of London Bridge Station, enable us to offer theatre artists and companies the opportunity to present their first fully realised productions. Over the past 15 years we have produced and presented early productions by many aspiring theatre practitioners many of whom are now enjoying flourishing careers.
