Flight Club : The Play?

At some point, Chuck was supposedly working on a Fight Club [I]musical[/I].

Just an update FIGHTCLUB the play is now on at the LBT Theatre in Huddersfield.

The Blurb claims it to be made in association with Chuck so it must be official.

i live in england.

i could drive to huddersfield.

I won't be doing. i don't think i need explain why.

I had the misfortune to see it yesterday. It was dreadful. I really can't see how this can be "official" and if it isn't someone should get sued as this is a so-called "professional" production!

It was a bunch of talentless idiots trying to copy the actors from the movie and failing badly, and what made it worse is that they had Yorkshire Accents.

I just can't put into words how dreadful it was!

This is them;

Hey there EG,

I really wanted to watch that stage version by Benchmark just because I wanted to see how they would have transfered it on to stage...but you didnt seem too impressed! What was so bad about it??? Yorkhsire accents aren't so bad so long as they are clear and you understand whats going on on stage!

Marla

I would of liked to see it if Micheal Ball played Tyler,but i guess he never will but in my dreams.

I know.. I know.. The first rule of Fight Club is...

But THIS IS HAPPENING!

After some questionable attempts (see above), I am proud to announce that the official world premiere of Fight Club the play is scheduled for April 25, 2008.

It will take place in the Czech Republic, Europe, on the stage of the legendary Drama Studio in Usti nad Labem (Usti upon Labe).

The Usti Drama Studio is well-known for a steady run of high-quality repertoire, often including progressive contemporary authors. Recently they celebrated its 35th anniversary. It is an institution with rich history, a long list of great productions, and a big family of significant actors & acclaimed directors.

And why do I say the premiere is "official"? After many months of unsuccessful trials to get the permission to stage the novel, last year the Studio received a personal go-ahead from Chuck. Of course, it arrived together with the usual host of presents, souvenirs & crazy thingies accompanying the letter..
(I will try and get some pictures).

So, for a few weeks now, the whole ensemble has been ejnoying rehersals (and fights) and looking forward to the premiere. 

As for the cast, Marla will be played by Tereza Hofová, while Marek Nemec and Martin Plouhar are Jack and Tyler Durden. 
The play is directed by Filip Nuckolls.

The theatre website (only in Czech, sorry) is www.cinoherak.cz.
The Fight Club world premiere announcement can be found right here.

(in for a little language lesson? ok, then: "Svetova premiera" = world premiere; "Anarchisticka hmyna" = anarchistic anthem; "Kdyz vsechno ztratite, pak jste svobodni a muzete si delat, co chcete" = only after we'we lost everything, we are free to do anything).

All from me now. More info soon.

Keep the fingers crossed!
