Beaten to Death by Gorillas!

Beaten to Death by Gorillas is a one act comedy dealing with the sensitive subject of huge monkeys running out of the bush and beating the tar out of helpless explorers. We produced it at the 1996 Edmonton Fringe. I wrote it, Lisa Ward directed it, and it starred (from left to right in the picture) Linda Grass, me, Tom Edwards, and Kyle Jorde (not pictured).

2000 Remount: BTBG was remounted by Jagged Edge Theatre in 2000. There's a review of that production here.

Note: Outside of B-Movies, gorillas are gentle, intelligent, and endangered. If you'd like to learn more about them, visit the Gorrilla Site.

"Characters and one-liners make this enjoyable entertainment... light fare that's good for laughs"

"The Fringe has to have a Grade-B movie and this is it! 'Beaten to Death' is nutty, funny, filled with puns and double entendres. Go. Laugh. Enjoy."
-Ed Tel Reviews on Fringe Webpage
