Brighton Fringe 26! Bluff Creek By Charlie Flynn

About

Bluff Creek is a new play about the men behind the Bigfoot phenomenon, and the 60 seconds of grainy footage that fooled a nation.

In 1967, Bob Gimlin and Roger Patterson went for a ride in the woods with a movie camera and a mission: to catch a Bigfoot on film. And thats just what they did.

To some, its the real McCoy; to others, its just a man in a monkey suit. To Bob Gimlin, its free drinks at the Idle Hour Inn and a flock of fans lining up to hear him tell the story one more time. Now, decades later, an investigator from out of town is starting to ask all the wrong questions, and a figure from the past is threatening to let slip what really happened at Bluff Creek all that time ago.
Based on real events, Bluff Creek examines the lives of the men behind the Patterson-Gimlin film, the iconic piece of footage that brought us the image of Bigfoot we know today. Its a story about the cost of lies, the nature of belief, and the enduring fascination with Americas resident Abominable Snowman.
