Blockbusters and budget theatre collide in a play opening its UK tour at Norwich’s Playhouse theatre next month.
Spy Movie: The Play! is a farcical comedy that creates a Hollywood movie on a fringe theatre budget.
Agent Blonde has 24 hours to save the world. The only things standing in her way are dastardly villains, an outrageous plot, and… a lack of funding. When Hollywood rejects her script, a frustrated screenwriter invites you, an audience of producers, to a one-night-only presentation of The Greatest Spy Movie (n)Ever Made.
The show is being produced by Norwich Theatre in association with A. Cabbage Productions and opens at Norwich Theatre Playhouse on 29 April, kicking off a national tour.
Jack Michael Stacey co-writer of Spy Movie said: “From writing the show on napkins in dressing rooms on tour to a sell-out run at Edinburgh Fringe, I’m delighted that we’re working with Norwich Theatre to create the show we’ve always dreamt of; a gloriously fun, funny and impossible play about the ambition to create something extraordinary against all odds.
“Whether you love movies or hate them, we know there’s something for everyone to love and laugh at, which is precisely what we aim to do. Strap in… it’s going to be a wild ride.”
