John Waters END OF THE WORLD

False Negative sure has changed and so has John Waters’ spoken word show, now entitled “End of the World”. This all-new, fast-moving, comic monologue about today’s despair and diseases, desires and desperation breaks through with an insane optimism that welcomes all audiences into a new dawn of depravity. How to reinvent the movie business, embrace stupidity in an intellectual way, even go beyond the limits of sexual transgression. John Waters, the man the press has called “The People’s Pervert”, will mutate your madness into hope and lead you to a joyous delirium eve rafter.

John Waters is a man of many monikers: The Prince of Puke, The Duke of Dirt, The Sultan of Sleaze. Anyway you put it, John Waters is famed the world over for his trash epics including “Pink Flamingos”, “Female Trouble”, “Desperate Living”, “Polyester”, “Serial Mom”, “Pecker”, “Cecil B. Demented”, and “A Dirty Shame”. Two of his more surprisingly commercial films have been adapted for the stage. “Hairspray”, winner of eight Tony Awards and “Cry Baby – The Musical” nominated for four Tony Awards. In the summer of 2007, “Hairspray” reinvented itself cinematically as a big-budget Hollywood movie starring John Travolta that became a smash hit worldwide.
