Back in my hometown my little brother is a member of the techies for the high school theater group that I was a big part of back in the day, and following my footsteps he's decided to direct a play there this year. I gave him the idea to do Reservoir Dogs, something I wish I had had the idea to do back when I had been going there (I found myself sitting in a class bored earlier this year recasting it with my friends who used to act in the group). So he's taken the script, cut it down to the warehouse setting, cleaned up the language, and axed the ear chopping and he's got himself the most dynamic badass thing to ever be committed to high school theater. I'm fuckin' proud of him and can't wait to see how it turns out.
I wish I could get this out to QT and see what his reaction would be, other than a cease-and-desist form letter haha.
Has anybody else ever seen or been part of an un-ironic-humor theater adaptation of a film? (With the exception to the obvious Evil Dead: The Musical, and The Producers?) I think Reservoir Dog's a great choice simply because of the general reliance on one location and the emphasis on dialogue, but I think The Shawshank Redemption, The Usual Suspects, or even Citizen Kane would work really well as stage plays with some ingenuity.
