2024 SiWC Michael Slade’s SHOCK Theater!

Greetings Outlander fans!πŸ€—

Last Friday evening at SiWC, we were treated to Michael Slade’s Shock Theater! This slap-stick event, written by Michael, has been an ongoing feature of the conference for the past 17 years. Being a great sport, Diana has participated every year since its inception! 🀩

Shock Theater Β is a spooky and spectacular take on a radio play, “complete with show-stopping twists, unexpected turns, and delightfully devious foley sound effects.” This year’s production was “The Fly!!!” πŸͺ°

Michael is the only one who sees the the script ahead of time; no one else will have seen their parts. Thus, they perform more or less “on the fly.!” 😜

For those too young, the original “The Fly” was a 1958 black and white film starring Vincent Price and a host of other actors you probably have never heard of. πŸ˜‰

This year’s presentation was as silly as ever. It portrays the story of Frank Randall who engineers Β a time transport machine and Diana as Claire Randall, devoted wife. Frank accidentally transports himself with a fly in the machine! Molecules intermix so Frank emerges from the device with a fly hand and head and the fly ends up with a human head and hand. πŸͺ°

Follow this meandering and entertaining story if you dare! πŸ‘Ή

Warning! A volunteer screams loudly about four times in the video, so be prepared! πŸ‘‚

The deeply grateful,
