- Our Price:

This imaginative adaptation asks the question you've always wanted an answer to: "What if Shakespeare had written Pulp Fiction?" Set in Elizabethan England, Pulp Shakespeare weaves the story of a pair of murderous hit men, their boss's alluring wife and a desperate knight, all brought to life by a cast of acclaimed Los Angeles Shakespearean actors. Clever and hysterical, this production is the work of Her Majesty's Secret Players and allows audiences to experience the Bard on a whole new level. Learn More

A fun evening. This talented improv group intermixes real-time live video into their performance. It appears to be a considerable added challenge for the artists - but adds a wild element to the improv formula. What I found especially cool was using video didn't turn all the sketches into take-offs on television programs/commercials. There were off-the-wall conceptual pieces where the video added another point-of-view to the action, or allowed two simulatneous improv scenes to play off each other.Written on Dec 12 2008
As in most all audience-involved theatre, a lot depends on the quality of the audience's suggestions. A dull audience can hamper the performers; a hip and engaged audience stimulates the actors to make crazier/smarter choices. That's the fun of improvisational theatre.
I'd highly recommend catching this show -- I know I'll be coming back, and will be looking forward to seeing a completely different evening.

- "Tilted Frame stretches the boundaries of traditional improvisation...They drop the facile and forced wackiness of comedy club improv for a far more daring and difficult form." -- SF Guardian
- “The internet-based improv really satisfied my personal desire to share everything I think is great online with a roomful of people. If you’ve got a Thursday evening to spare (and let’s face it, everyone does) Tilted Frame is a lovely way to spend it. It’ll make you feel at home..” --socal.com, Melissa Loftus

<p>Having expanded into Los Angeles at Theatre Asylum in 2007, C.A.F.E.’s Artistic Director Matthew Quinn is excited about Tilted Frames Los Angeles premiere. “Tilted Frame was created to explore the live performance use of video and the internet,” says Matthew, “I feel the techniques we’re exploring are not only wonderful entertainment, but are also valuable techniques usable by playwrights and creators of new media, or anyone in Los Angeles and into entertainment wanting to look outside of the box.”.</p>
