Curse of the Mummy
Montana Jones longs for adventure but try as he might he epitomises the phrase ‘nice guys finish last’. Then one day, he makes the discovery of a lifetime, only to inadvertently hand it over to Hitler’s treasure hungry and sinister spy.
Monty has to pluck up all the courage he can beg, borrow and steal to win back his discovery and stop evil forces from using this discovery to destroy the world.
As we follow Monty to Egypt we see him encounter tricky traders, beautiful belly dancers and a pantomime camel that would have Widow Twanky rolling in her wash basket.
The final showdown between good vs evil take place deep in the Egyptian desert. Who will prevail? A clumsy Cambridge University professor with no military training or a highly skilled and deadly SS Officer? Obviously, the man with the hat and the whip: Montana Jones!
Using both outrageously catchy pop songs and obscure 80s ballads even your mum won’t have heard of, Last Chance Saloon take you on a whirlwind adventure. For one hour 3 men will play over 100 characters, with at least 3 different accents. You’ll see them dance, you’ll see them cry, you’ll see things you wish you could un-see.
With good old fashioned British humour and an intriguing interpretation of world history, the Saloon Boys will have you laughing your lungs out, crying out for more and wondering why they don’t all have modelling contracts.
Last Chance Saloon performed to both sell out crowds and 5 star reviews again at Just The Tonic at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2017. Following their run at the Fringe, they performed at the London Horror Festival, selling out their week long run. They have subsequently toured Curse of the Mummy with Cheshire Rural Touring Arts and are planning further tours in 2019.
