Pulp Shakespeare at Theatre Asylum

Pulp Shakespeare

Theatre Asylum
6320 Santa Monica Blvd. Hollywood

What an absolute joy to watch the scenes we all know so well from Tarantino's Pulp Fiction being retold as if by The Bard himself. Pulp Shakespeare weaves the stories of a pair of murderers, their boss' alluring wife, and a desperate knight, together in a style that only Tarantino (and Shakespeare) could conceive. Pistols are traded in for daggers, cars for horses, and the ‘Royale with Cheese" for "Hachis Parmentier".

"...Smart writing, coupled with deadly serious character interpretations and a clever transposition of Tarantino's iconic scenes to 16th Century England, makes this the kind of shrewdly intelligent comedy you can't get enough of."

"...I saw this production last time it was in LA. It was good then, but I have to say this reincarnation blows it out of the water. Go buy tickets for Theatre Asylum's "Pulp Shakespeare (or Bard Fiction)" right now, and watch "Pulp Fiction" the night before you go. It will make the jokes and references that much better."

"...Pulp Shakespeare, a play written by Ben Tallen, Aaron Greer and Brian Watson-Jones, developed by the Pulp Bard wiki, based on a concept originated by Kevin Peace, and based on Quentin Tarantino's movie Pulp Fiction, is not only meritorious in its own right as an original bard mashup, but so over-the-top original that it feels like a mind scrabble to even comprehend how in the hell these guys were able to transcribe a cult film into a modern day Shakespearean iambic pentameter that undeniable mimics the bard, and on some level surpasses classic brilliance. It's simply astounding."
