Aren't all of us occasionally "tilted" by misperceptions or mis-communication? Haven't we all experienced that dizzying sensation of things suddenly not making sense? These six adventures in pretzyl-bent reality are imaginary, but the inspiration for them comes straight from everyday events: meeting prospective in-laws, getting conned by the amazing details of a convincing story, enduring a disastrous blind date, being bizarrely mis-quoted, covering up failure with fantasy, doing the grunt work while someone else gets the glory. Truth turned on its ear is the name of the game in this revue-style comedy consisting of six scenes about relationships between men and women- and particularly about the unexpected.

Available in its entirety or as separate short plays. Includes six scenes that may be performed as one-acts: Monkeyshines, Redemption, Freaks, The Playwright's Nightmare, Coffee Date, and Dress for Success.

Reviews.

From the Ashland, Oregon Daily Tidings:
"…brilliantly funny and acutely observed, with shrewd characterizations that are brought to laughable life by the actors. It is comedy at full tilt."
