PULP!
They inspired Quentin Tarantino! They spawned countless films and TV shows! They thrilled the popular imagination for decades!
They were cheap fiction magazines from the 1920’s to the 50’s and mass-market paperbacks from the 50’s and 60’s , and they are best remembered for their sensational cover art.
PULP is a new theatre piece that blends improvisation and script, bringing to life these shocking and hilarious tales from the past for the audience’s interactive and voyeuristic pleasure. PULP is a dramatically different live show.
