The Unkillable Mike Malloy
The Bridge House Theatre presents the world premiere of Luke Adamsons darkly comic new play The Unkillable Mike Malloy From the award-winning team behind some of London's most acclaimed fringe productions comes a jaw-dropping true story you have to see to believe. New York City, 1933. The Great Depression has hit hard, and three down-on-their-luck businessmen hatch a chillingly clever plan: take out life insurance policies on a homeless Irish drunk named Mike Malloy... and then help fate along. The problem? Mike wont die. Day after day, drink after drink, Iron Mike keeps coming back for more, baffling his would-be murderers and turning their scheme into a spiraling farce of failure, frustration, and increasingly bizarre attempts at foul play. Told in the shadowy, stylish world of film noir - with tongue firmly in cheek - The Unkillable Mike Malloy is a thrilling theatrical rollercoaster: part black comedy, part true-crime caper, and entirely unforgettable. Come for the laughs. Stay for the gasps. Witness the legend of the Rasputin of the Bronx. PLEASE NOTE THERE IS NO PERFORMANCE ON SATURDAY 19TH JULYRead more
