NATURAL BORN PSYCHOS: Psychopaths Wayne (Liam Duncan) and his adoring girl, Scout, (Scarlett Fawcett) enjoy an hot moment in Unity Theatre’s production of Ben Elton’s blackly comedic satire Popcorn.
Fans of Tarantinoesque film director, Bruce Delamitri’s violent films, the pair’s trail of murder and mayhem stops with a home invasion of Delamitri’s Hollywood pad.
Their argument is he shot “sexy” movies and made them imitate his crazy screen characters.
When they get cameras in on the hostage-situation, TV viewers
become unwittingly complicit in how it all plays out.
This is a play for our media-involved times.
Popcorn, by Ben Elton, Unity Theatre April 13-20.
