Zip Ties

My overall impression

Reminiscent to Reservoir Dogs in style and spirit, Zip Ties is a solid work-in-progress. I enjoyed myself, and appreciated the production value (exploding squibs aren’t something you see on stage every day, especially executed so flawlessly!), but I was a little disappointed that some of the performances seemed incongruous with the nature of the script. Choices that were loud, brash and larger-than-life seemed to go against the vibe of the dialogue and robbed the production of real menace and intensity. However, it’s still a fun romp, and worth checking out. I’m looking forward to seeing how this show develops in the future!
