Psycho Beach Party
A tongue-in-cheek homage that lovingly mashes up surf and horror films.
Overview
Do you ever bemoan the lack of serious theatre tackling hard-hitting topics of geopolitical import? This is not the play you're looking for. Psycho Beach Party is a tongue-in-cheek homage that lovingly mashes up surf and horror films and was originally called Gidget Goes Psychotic. The 1987 off-Broadway play starred playwright Charles Busch as the 16-year-old female lead, though the role was recast for the 2000 film.
This version, playing at the Brisbane Festival, is directed by Stephen Nicolazzo (sex.violence.blood.gore) and stars Ash Flanders (who is half of Melburnian queer theatre heroes Sisters Grimm) in the role of Chicklet.
