Die Hard reimagined in rhyme by Fringe First-winner Richard Marsh. Content warning: divorce, foot trauma, German terrorists.

Part of the Vault Festival Transfer Season at Omnibus Theatre.

When the feast was finished and the fires burned low, ancient bards would bring great heroes to life in verse. Fringe First award winner Richard Marsh will bring to life the modern hero John McClane. In a rhyming retelling of classic movie Die Hard.

High above Los Angeles, terrorists have seized a skyscraper, capturing everyone inside. Everyone? Not quite. One man managed to escape – an off-duty poet. A poet with a badge. He's outnumbered, outgunned – and the hostages' only hope.

This is an affectionate tribute to (and unauthorised parody of) the classic movie. Parody implies Richard will not taking this seriously. He absolutely will be. He says that as former London poetry slam champion, BBC Audio Drama Best Comedy winner and New York cop (one of these is untrue).

Content warning: divorce, foot trauma, German terrorists.
