Details

Shushi was a programme so anarchic in its time that adults and children alike watched in their millions. Until one fatal transmission where the female presenter was pushed over the edge, an obsessive fan resorted to desperate measures, and Phil Collins was locked in his dressing room. Inspired by legendary Saturday morning shows such as TISWAS and GOING LIVE, Never Try This At Home re-unites the remaining survivors of an infamous TV show, Shushi, and throws the spotlight on those presenters who are soon to realise the insidious side to fame. With a local house band and actual Shushi footage, Never Try This At Home is an hilarious, violent and disturbing expos? of the world of TV and fame. World Premiere. Age recommendation 15+
