“The Primitive Screwheads, a cult film-loving theatre troupe, take their name from a snarky one-liner spouted by the fiery character Ash in Army of Darkness (1992). Their love of Sam Raimi's Evil Dead trilogy translated to the stage in 2004 with Evil Dead: Live. During each show, they gave the audience plastic tarps to protect themselves from the gallons of fake blood spraying from the stage. Since then, they've taken on the Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) and Peter Jackson's zombie flick Brain-Dead (1992). Tonight, Much Ado About Lebowski mashes up the Coen Brothers' Raising Arizona (1987) and The Big Lebowski (1998) as Bill Shakespeare would have written them. Expect Elizabethan speech, bathrobes, White Russians, live minstrels, and some fake urination on a rug. And more fake blood.”

The Primitive Screwheads say:
Come see the Primitive Screwheads' newest performance, Much Ado About Lebowski, a live staged parody about a man named Sir Geoffery of Lebowski, who lived a simple, humble life until the day he was mistaken for Geoffery of Lebrowski. On that day, one man's quiet life turns into utter chaos full of kidnappings, escaped prisoners, rug peeing, theatrical porn, and a severed toe. Join the Primitive Screwheads in this wildly unique Comedy of Errors that's a mishmash of an old Elizabethan text and the Big Lebowski and Raising Arizona. White Russians will be served at 7pm.
