No Tweed Too Tight: Another Grant Canyon Mystery

RibbitRePublic Theatre—The King’s Head Pub

Great fun! This was exactly what I expected. A hilarious romp starring the very affable and talented Ryan Gladstone who really gets a workout playing Canyon. Taking all those beatings and electric shocks to the balls takes a lot out of a guy.

What really amused me were the increasingly gruesome and always unbelievable situations our hapless, severely alcoholic detective wakes up to from his blackouts. Who opens their bleary eyes to find themselves between the mattress and the box spring? Only our soused hero Grant! This script took a lot of imagination, is extremely fast paced and full of absolutely nonsensical metaphors and craziness.

This isn’t serious theatre and doesn’t purport to be. This is an opportunity to get out and relax and laugh and laugh some more.
