”Tarantino Live: Fox Force Five and The Tyranny of Evil Men” to stage European premiere

Tarantino Live: Fox Force Five and The Tyranny of Evil Men will receive its European debut at Riverside Studios this summer.

Produced by Los Angeles-based live entertainment company For the Record, the show is billed as a “character driven concert that seamlessly merges the world of Hollywood and musical theatre”.

It features scenes from some of the acclaimed director’s films, from Reservoir Dogs to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, together with songs from the soundtracks.

According to press material: “This rock ‘n’ soul concert is a spiderweb of hitmen, gangsters and assassins slaying vinyl classics like ‘Son of a Preacher Man’, ‘Stuck in the Middle With You’, ‘Bang Bang’, and many more. The show encompasses Tarantino’s entire cinematic universe spanning over 30 years.”

Shane Scheel, co-creator of For the Record, said: “We have long been searching for the perfect opportunity to introduce For The Record to London. We are thrilled to bring the show to Riverside Studios, where the arts intersect in a historic film studio, and be a part of their rich history. Our team is enthusiastic about bringing our distinctive style of immersive theatre to London audiences and becoming a part of the vibrant creative community.”
