Waiting for Twist Stiffly – RPI Players

I was delighted to get a Tweet from the RPI Players this week, telling me they had completed their run of “Waiting for Twist Stiffly” and enjoyed the play very much. They had the very talented Demetrius Green (photographybydegrees.com/) on hand to take some awesome photos of the performance:

It’s rare that a production captures the look of a play so completely. When I wrote the script, I optimistically included the set description as follows : “The stage is set as the evil control centre of Zenit Emoga. 1950’s space adventure style. Lots of brushed steel effects, curves and complicated dials and controls.” The RPI Players got the look of the play spot on. Their costumes were inspired and just as perfect. My congratulations and thanks go to all the cast and crew.
