(the parody celebration of Die Hard)
Acclaimed retelling of classic film Die Hard from Richard Marsh - Fringe First-winner, London poetry slam champion, BBC Audio Drama Best Scripted Comedy Drama award-winner and New York cop (one of these is untrue).
When gunmen seize an LA skyscraper, off-duty policeman John McClane is the hostages’ only hope. This uplifting action romp (and unauthorised parody) celebrates the iconic 80s festive favourite while also telling the personal story of a life-long Die Hard fan. Essential viewing for Hans Gruber connoisseurs and newcomers alike.
This joyfully funny show premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2022 to critical and audience acclaim and returned there in 2023. Winner of Best Comedy at the 2023 London Pub Theatre Awards. Touring internationally including the UK, US and Adelaide Fringe in 2024.
Suitable for ages 14 and upwards. Running time: 75 minutes
