This actually sounds pretty funny/bizarre. A theater troupe is doing "Popeye" realistically. Instead of the endless cartoon violence where everyone pops up just fine at the end, in this version "Popeye" and "Bluto" beat each other nearly to death (replete with blood, broken teeth, etc.) while Olive Oyl watches. Not quite sure what it's all supposed to mean, or even how I should react as a life-long Popeye fan, but I'm intrigued! More info at:
