What is it?

Bootworks Theatre present Predator: Finishing off what I started when I was five at Jacksons Lane.

At five years old Andy and his brother snuck down stairs, after their parents had gone to bed, and taped the film Predator off the TV.  They would watch the film religiously thereafter and began creating their own version.  What started out as a scene-for-scene re-creation soon turned into their own re-imagining; unfortunately they never managed to finish what they had started.

So here’s Andy’s chance!

With a little bit of audience help Andy will finish off what’s been in the making for 20 years, using some of the same techniques him and his brother started with, as well as bringing to life and realising the fantasy that he wished they were able to achieve in 1991.

Bootworks Theatre present Predator: Finishing off what I started when I was five So please, sit down and join Andy at his table, as you play with remote control cars, action men, puppets and your own imaginations to complete your own version of the film Predator and finally finish off what Andy started when he was five.

Bootworks Theatre are a group of multi-disciplined artists committed to creating innovative theatre and performance for unusual locations, presenting cutting edge theatre to audiences of all kinds, from all walks of life.
