James Seabright presents Yippee Ki Yay, an acclaimed retelling of the classic film Die Hard by Richard Marsh – a Fringe First winner, London poetry slam champion, BBC Audio Drama Best Scripted Comedy Drama award winner and New York cop (one of these is untrue). This joyfully funny show heads out on tour following rave reviews for its premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe, which also won it a London transfer. When gunmen seize an LA skyscraper, off duty policeman John McClane is the hostages’ only hope. This uplifting action romp (and unauthorised parody) pays affectionate tribute to the iconic 80s festive fan favourite. Essential viewing for Hans Gruber superfans and newcomers alike. Content warning: divorce, foot trauma, German terrorists.
