Hold the Elevator

The blurry version!


This was performed by Scotch ‘n’ Soda Theatre. It won me and Chicken Chow Fun a nice shiny “Best Original Play” award, but I think it was in large part thanks to the performances of the cast (which included two other Clunkliners) and work of the director. Underground Man got nominated for Best Male Lead for his role, which is pretty hard to do since this festival always takes place after the nomination period is basically over.

Technically, it also won “Best Post-show Music” but I don’t think that counts since they made the award up just to give it to us.

Hold the Elevator was written, rehearsed, and performed in the space of 24 hours.

I tagged it as a film because we don’t have a category for plays.

Old Games That Amuse Burpen, Part 1 - Donkey Kong

Donkey Kong has a very simple premise: your giant monkey pet has abducted your girlfriend Pauline and climbed to the top of the worst construction site in existence. You, “Jumpman”, a very slow-walking and perishable carpenter, must make your way to the top of the construction site and rescue Pauline whilst Donkey Kong rolls barrels and other crap at you.
