I adapted The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch for the stage many years ago, but was refused permission to perform it by P. K. Dick's estate.
It is truly a masterpiece!
We ended up using Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said, since that was an existing adaption by a friend of Philip K. Dick's that they had no control over.
- nymblest 3y agoOh man, is there any way you can send it to me? I would love to see how you adapted that story
- MattPalmer1086 3y agoNot sure I still have the stage play to be honest, it was done in the late 90s, I'd have to really dig back into my old backups. The whole idea was to use multimedia, video projection, computer animation and live video mixed up with live performance to really mess with the audience's sense of what was real or not. We managed to pull it off quite nicely with Flow My Tears though. A nice bit was cutting from a live feed of an actress apparently cutting her arm, to a pre recorded close up of the arm being cut and lots of blood. Audience always thought they were seeing what was happening on stage at that point :)
