The Storming of the Bastille
In this chaotic guessing-game moment from The Dinner Theatre Rejects, one poor performer is tasked with figuring out a wildly specific prompt: “the storming of the Bastille.” Onstage, their teammates throw everything at it—fake rioting, imaginary castles, frantic miming—while the guesser gets more and more confused.
Just when it seems totally hopeless, someone jumps in with a musical hint: a few unmistakable lines from “Pompeii” by Bastille. The mash-up of French Revolution pantomime and modern pop reference turns into a ridiculous payoff as the guess finally lands, earning big laughs from both the audience and the cast.
