Yippee Ki Yay (the parody celebration Of Die Hard) Lighthouse Poole Preview

DISCLOSURE – TICKETS TO SEE THE SHOW WILL BE GIFTED TO THE REVIEWER AND GUEST FOR THE PURPOSES OF WRITING THIS PREVIEW AND THE SUBSEQUENT REVIEW

Previewed by Mel S-W

Die Hard… one of the greatest (Christmas) movies of all time, an acting cast of hundreds, if not thousands but for one night only at Lighthouse Poole… something a little different.

Following a critically acclaimed UK tour and two Edinburgh Festival Fringe seasons, Richard Marsh’s acclaimed rhyming retelling of classic (festive?) film Die Hard. One of the Picks of the Fringe in The Stage and Recommended by The British Comedy Guide, this joyfully funny show is not to be missed.

This one man show, written and performed by Richard Marsh and directed by Hal Chambers, has phenomenal reviews so it definitely seems like one of those not to be missed. So grab those tickets… and possibly a Christmas jumper and head on down to Lighthouse Poole for a festive/not festive rendition of a classic. I’m not really sure what to expect, but I think seeing is believing!

When gunmen seize an LA skyscraper, off-duty policeman John McClane is the hostages’ only hope. This uplifting action romp (and unauthorised parody) celebrates the iconic 80s festive favourite while also telling the personal story of a life-long Die Hard fan. I’m looking forward to seeing how this is done!
