About the Project

One man performs the epic story of “Seven Samurai” – complete with victimized peasants, marauding bandits, samurai warriors, and spectacular fight scene – retold at comic breakneck pace. Unique, riveting, and very funny.

You have never seen another show like this.
Imagine mime that is not annoying, clowning that is not childish.
A show with panoramic vistas, comic characters, heroic actions, and delightful eviscerations.

Imagine a performance that has adults laughing like children, and children in rapt attention. A unique style of theatre performance that is highly visual, packed with stunning movement, and completely original.

David Gaines is the whole movie. Projected in your head.

And funny. Did I mention funny? It’s like Kill Bill meets Road Runner cartoons.
