DEEP-HEAT RIVALRY skates in The Other Palace Studio this Autumn
This autumn, The Other Palace Studio turns up the heat with the outrageously funny new porno panto parody on ice Deep-Heat Rivalry, written by celebrated comedy duo Trevor Ashley and Phil Scott.
Loosely inspired by a certain hit TV series (and we mean very loosely), this camp, chaotic, and deliciously inappropriate new comedy smashes together locker room drama, forbidden romance, parody songs, and absolutely no knowledge of sport whatsoever. Add in full frontal nudity (yes, really), shameless innuendo, with a score that ranges from power ballad to party pop, and you’ve got a show that’s less about hockey - and more about hooking up.
Deep-Heat Rivalry follows sworn enemies Shane Hollandaise and Ilya Stroganoff - two outrageously talented, aggressively handsome hockey stars whose on-ice clashes are the stuff of legend. But behind the bruises, body checks, and barely concealed tension lies a secret neither of them is prepared for: they are madly, inconveniently, and spectacularly in love.
Deep-Heat Rivalry comes from acclaimed writers and performers, the Olivier nominated Trevor Ashley and Phil Scott, with the former also set to direct. They are renowned for their irreverent, high-camp theatrical style and a string of hit productions that celebrate bold comedy, musical parody, and larger-than-life entertainment.
Casting is to be announced.
Expect passion. Expect power plays. Expect absolutely no subtlety. It’s not just a rivalry… it’s a full-contact comedy.
In the high-stakes, high-speed world of professional ice hockey, rivalries run deep… but this one runs hotter.
