Bendigo Theatre Company has proudly announced its upcoming production of the literary sensation 50 Shades of Grey, promising a “bold new interpretation” of the bestselling novel.
The production promises to bring the steamy world of E.L. James’s bestselling novel to life in daring and, according to insiders, deeply confusing ways. The theatre company has reportedly spared no expense bringing the book’s erotic tension to the stage.
“We wanted to take the original material and give it a uniquely Bendigo twist,” said director D.B Funk’e, who has previously directed a highly controversial production of “Cats” featuring real cats and actual litter boxes. “Our version will use locally sourced bondage gear and interpretive dance sequences set to classic Australian rock.”
“We’re blending the high drama of Shakespeare with the intense emotional landscapes of E.L. James,” Funk’e explained. “Expect to see Christian Grey’s brooding intensity expressed through interpretive dance and Anastasia Steele’s inner turmoil portrayed with innovative mime techniques. It’s going to be a sensory overload.”
Bendigo Theatre Company is reportedly in the final stages of casting. Rumours swirl that local community members will play the lead roles with a flair for the dramatic and a high tolerance for awkwardness.
The performane promises an immersive experience. Lucky audience members will become active participants in the show.
The production is slated to open in December, and tickets are already in high demand. Fans are eager to witness the unique blend of theatre and erotica that promises to revolutionise or scandalise the local arts scene.
