The Toxic Avenger
nb. This event takes place at different venues or in different spaces for different performances.
A hapless middle aged man is thrust into the role of a brutal avenger after a disastrous encounter with chemical waste. In this inventive, hilarious reboot, director Macon Blair reimagines the cult character familiar from the grisly 80s franchise. Featuring brilliant turns from Peter Dinklage, Elijah Wood and Kevin Bacon, this is a staggeringly violent and darly humourous Toxic Avenger for the 21st century.
