Tilda Swinton Answers An Ad On Craigslist

Madnani Theater
6760 Lexington Ave Los Angeles

From the company that brought you this summer's hit So Long Boulder City comes another absurd must-see comedy about life with one of the greatest living actors. Walt is a gay wallflower. After a devastating break-up, Walt innocently places an ad on Craigslist for a new roommate. When other-worldly star Tilda Swinton shows up at his door and insists on moving in to "study" Walt for her next big movie role, things gets hysterically chaotic.

"...Byron Lane has written a brilliant tour de force for Tom Lenk as Oscar-winner Tilda Swinton. As cleverly written by Lane, sharply directed by Tom Detrinis, and played to perfection by Lenk; the heightened reality of Tilda Swinton graces the Celebration Theatre (landing from her home Jupiter) to research for her upcoming role that's sure to win Tilda her next Oscar. (How could she only have one? Even Monique has one!)"

"...I mean, the title alone gives you a sense of the delicious ridiculousness of Byron Lane's new play "Tilda Swinton Answers an Ad on Craigslist." And bolstered by a landmark performance by Joss Whedon favorite Tom Lenk, this is a show that you should not only run to the theatre to see, but should just run forever. Perhaps I'm overstating, but the cleverness of Lane's script and the sharp comedic mastery of Lenk makes "Tilda Swinton" a play you won't forget."

"...There's a special subset of shows that parody or examine a particular celebrity, such as Mindy Kaling and Brenda Withers' Matt & Ben (about the titular creators of Good Will Hunting), or Jonathan Tolins' examination of life in Streisand's private shopping mall in Buyer and Cellar. Some of these plays use celebrity to hint at bigger themes, while others just like to have fun with a tweaked version of a star's persona. Byron Lane's Tilda Swinton Answers an Ad on Craigslist, a new production at the Celebration Theatre, is very much the latter sort of show. Although Tom Lenk is very funny as the unearthly Swinton, Lane's play doesn't quite live up the vivid performance at its center."
