Hasty Pudding Theatricals this week selected "Fangs for the Memories"--a blend of James Bond characters, a Transylvania-type setting and bomb shelters--for its 153rd season's production, continuing a tradition of outrageous spoofs
Ben S. Forkner '01, Sarah C. Haskins '01 and Young K. Lee '99 wrote the 1950's spoof together during 1999.
"After 153 years you kind of run out of things to spoof," Forkner said. "We realized there'd never been a kind of vampire-ish spoof. The genre wasn't completely pummeled into the ground."
"We haven't done a Transylvania monster type theme yet," said Chris M. Hans '01, president of the Pudding theatricals.
He, like the play's three authors, said he is excited by the freshness of the theme.
Since the play was rejected for the 152nd season, the three authors have been revising and polishing it for re-submission.
"They tightened up, added a lot more jokes," Hans said.
But for the three authors, the work has just begun.
