Performers will attempt (and most likely fail) to recreate "The Dark Knight" entirely from memory — without the help of scripts, rehearsals, or sobriety. All they will have is their memory, a recent viewing of the film, and a lot of wigs.
But if that wasn't hard enough, there are some extra rules in play. The performers:
- won't know what role they are playing until they get onstage.
- must incorporate lines written by the audience.
- must incorporate any sound effect played by the tech booth.
- must spontaneously create “deleted scenes” when an audience member honks the magic horn
The Entirely From Memory troupe comprises improvisers, actors, and comedians who attempt to recreate classic stories in front of a live audience for a chaotic good time. See their performance of "The Dark Knight" on Thursday, March 16 in Brooklyn.
