What would Mean Girls have been like if it was made 22 years ago? Well, let’s take the Lindsay Lohan of the 80s (Winona Ryder, dur) who longs to be part of the high school in-crowd – the holy grail of adolescence. Combine her with the three most popular girls in school, all called Heather, and create that Plastics-esque super-popular-girl-posse that is often more feared than revered. Then this whole thing gets totally 80s when Winona (well, Veronica) starts hooking in with Christian Slater (sorry, Jason Dean), who’s absolutely crazy, by the way. And then they start killing people. Damn Africa, what happened?
The film completely bombed when it was released in 1989, but like a fine wine, it’s one of those films that get better with age. The Tribal Theatre, in true Tribal Theatre fashion, are holding a one-night-only screening of the cult classic. There ain’t no burn book, but you can expect a tumultuous and bloody rollercoaster of high-school social politics. So fetch.
