Beaten to the Punch

Looks like someone else had a similar idea.

This flash game gives you a chance to kill Paris Hilton in different ways. My favourite weapon is the kinkajou.

Did we mention we have I Killed Paris T-shirts available?

They cost £10. Get in touch on info@rackedtheatre.com if you're interested.

Here's one modelled by original cast member Eleanor Matsuura:

P.S. I feel the need to mention again, that despite the controversial title, the play is not an attack on Paris Hilton, but rather a depiction of female relationships and the culture of celebrity worship.

MAC Attack

Plenty going on this week...

• Spent today meeting with MAC who are providing our makeup for the show. MAC Pro Trainer Makeup Artist Dean Rudd helped design the looks for the characters. It was incredibly fun, and there will be some fantastic and dramatic looks -- very much looking forward to meeting with him again to teach the cast how to apply their faces.

• Filming the YouTube trailers over the next few days. Will be a great way to get us in the mood and excited for rehearsals to start in a few weeks.
  

• MORE PRESS! We've been listed in The Evening Standard as one of their 25 reasons to go to the Edinburgh Festival. Check us out under number 18 by clicking HERE.
  

Updates Galore

It has been a while, and a lot has been happening. Some handy bullet points below to update:

• CASTING: Due to the Royal Court pinching our fab Eleanor Matsuura as Saffron, we were forced to re-cast. After several auditions and re-calls, we found a brilliant actress by the name of Lucia Mcanespie to take over the role. The final cast can now be announced as: Alison O'Donnell, Janey Lawson, Lucia Mcanespie, Megan Ford, and Meghan Leslie.

• FUNDRAISING: On 15th June we held our fantastic Gala in support of the show. We had a red carpet, a singing Paris Hilton look-a-like, performances by the cast, a stand-up MC, darts, a raffle, drinks, cupcakes, and most importantly, an amazing time. Click HERE for photos of the event.

• PREVIEWS: We're in talks with the Riverside Studios for our London preview showings. They should be held on 31st July and 1st August, with two showings a night, should everything go to plan. Check back for more details on the times and booking.

• PRESS: We've recently been mentioned by Lyn Gardner of the Guardian as one of the top picks for the Fringe: Click HERE to read all about it.

• EDINBURGH: You can now book to see the show in Edinburgh. Click HERE for the Assembly Rooms booking page.
  

• MORE: The pop-up performances by the cast on the gala evening were meant to be one-offs, but they were so fantastic that we're putting together some video of the mini-logues they performed to act as a trailer on YouTube. Check back within the next few weeks for the links.
