Title: Popcorn
Presented By: Ipswich Little Theatre (ILT)
Genre: Satirical Comedy Thriller
Synopsis: Set in the glamorous yet cutthroat world of Beverly Hills, Popcorn by Ben Elton centres on Oscar-winning director Bruce Delamitri. The play unfolds in Bruce’s luxury home, where a romantic evening with actress and model Brooke Daniels is suddenly interrupted by Wayne and Scout, two notorious killers who demand more than just autographs. With Wayne fixated on using Bruce’s films to rationalise his own murderous spree, the night spirals further when Bruce’s estranged wife, his teenage daughter, and a sleazy producer all get dragged into the mayhem. In a sharp, darkly funny examination of celebrity culture and morality, Popcorn is a high-stakes thriller that doesn’t hold back.
