Bitter Pill Theatre presents:
“Will Adolf come to the Diary Room please…”
14 January – 30 January 2016
Bitter Pill Theatre present their Edinburgh hit Big Brother Blitzkrieg at the King’s Head Theatre, which sees Adolf Hitler enter the Big Brother House.
“a head-turning premise (…) clever nods to history” Entertainmentwise
After a botched suicide attempt, Adolf Hitler awakes to find himself in the Big Brother House. Confused by his situation and surrounded by some of the most loathsome individuals he’s ever met, he struggles to come to terms with the world of reality television.
Join Adolf on the journey of a lifetime as he makes friends, faces demons and finds his true voice. But will he win over the hearts and minds of the viewers in the process?
“hilarious and disturbing by turns, the writing is tight, the performances on point and the climax genuinely chilling” Artwhacked
Writers and directors Hew Rous Eyre & Max Elton say “Big Brother Blitzkrieg is a response to anti-politics and celebrity worship. Considering relative extremists like Donald Trump and his successful penetration of the political mainstream, perhaps we’ve not advanced as much as we think we have. We live in an era of fame, hashtags and Boris Johnson so let’s not get complacent.”

After a bombastic, exciting and innovative 45th year, the King’s Head continues its new artistic policy of being a crucible of new writing and critical rediscoveries, whilst also welcoming the much-anticipated return of pub opera, with the aim of being the best pub theatre in London. The King’s Head offers an unashamedly broad church of programming including theatre, musical theatre and opera, transfers to and from the biggest arts festivals in the world, and a trail-blazing policy of ethical employment on the fringe – if it’s on here, you won’t see it anywhere else.
