RED HOLLYWOOD (2021) 24 Carrot Productions

It's 1952, eight years after the zombie apocalypse. A Hollywood studio has reaped the benefits of scaring audiences by using zombies as “extras” in their horrors. Now, cinema-goers are desensitised, halting production on their latest picture. In a last ditch for success, the cast and crew ally with the unlikeliest rising star…

True to the Golden Age of motion pictures, this farce is a gourmet of glamour, scandal and secrets. Underneath it is a commentary on attitudes towards women in the industry, and most importantly, women’s behaviours towards each other.

Performed at The MC Showroom in Melbourne.

Writer & Director - JC Jacinta Scadden
