You can't always judge a book by its cover, but TILT had some killer artwork. Looked like some classic Guy Ritchie pulp, but I thought there's no way that could be pulled off on stage...
And it wasn't.
Because TILT was way better than some Guy Ritchie joint.
We got a solid two-hander that's exploding bigger than the confines of that small room. Engaging story, characters, dialogue - I want to see them on a big screen. As is, though, we have the American Martin McDonagh.
Real performances, constantly shifting and surprising. This is a definite must-see for anybody craving a savory hour of theatre....

A tense 60-minutes that will have you on the edge of your seat. An adrenaline rush of drama. The real deal. Two superb performers (one review called them "rock star actors" and it's true) working from a nearly-perfect dark but extremely funny script. TILT is why I go to the theater. I predict "Top of Fringe!"...

What's to say that hasn't been said? Engrossing, brilliantly written, brilliantly acted, brilliantly directed. Gorgeous imagery and dialogue within a barren, desolate world. Ben Moroski's Boone (imagine if Sid Vicious and Danny Zucco fused) and Michael Shaw Fisher's Chester (a grounded mix of Yosemite Sam and Sammy Hagar - complete with a "5150" namecheck) are wonderfully at each other's throats and psyches for sixty minutes that I would gladly enjoy again. The character physicalization and language were top-notch. I came in expecting this to be amazing and I was STILL surprised and blown away by how good it was. Top of the Fringe, no question....
