JANIS JOPLIN: FULL TILT

★★★★★ "So brilliant and intense musically and dramatically it lifts the hairs on the back of the neck” The scotsman
From multi-award winning writing/directing team Peter Arnott and director Cora Bissett, Full Tilt was a sensation at the 2014 Fringe, winning ‘Best Play’ from the Scottish Arts Club and ‘Best Female Musical Performance’ for its star, Angie Darcy.
On stage a woman stands, the greatest rock singer of her generation. Standing around her is the hottest band that a record company can buy. In front of her, an audience of thousands of expectant fans. She is Janis Joplin. She is utterly alone.
A celebration of a sound, a scream of protest at the universe. Full Tilt.

This Pachamama Production is presented by Raw Material and Regular Music for Summer 2018.

​Written by Peter Arnott
Directed by Cora Bissett
​Associate Director  Beth Morton
