Faking Bad – The Unauthorised Parody Methsical to be staged at London’s Turbine Theatre

Faking Bad – The Unauthorised Parody Methsical will stage a development run at London’s The Turbine Theatre this summer.

The production – which will see the creative team working on the material and fine-tuning it during its run – will play from 17 August – 23 September 2023.

Written by Rob Gathercole and directed by Andrew Beckett, the show arrives ten years after the award winning TV show, Breaking Bad, hit our screens.

Breaking Bad is widely considered one of the best TV shows of the 21st Century. Similarly this very unauthorised tribute to it, Faking Bad is (predicted) to be one of the most stupid and best pieces of musical theatre to ever grace a stage!

The production will feature actor-musicians who, against the backdrop of an old industrial tunnel, condense the epic story of a lost chemistry teacher into a one act musical comedy.

This all singing, all dancing methsical contains a ridiculous array of musical styles and theatrical tropes to speed through 62 hours of television in under 90 minutes, with the promise to keep the audiences laughing, on this joyous ride through the desert! We promise it won’t be dry and there will be Mexican hats…maybe maracas!

Casting and further creatives are to be announced.

You can take a listen to the soundtrack online here.
