ABSTRACT
Storytelling is frightening, because it involves a journey into the unknown. When author was one of a group of young playwrights we could never agree on what was meant by 'dramatic action', but I would define it now as the product of 'interaction', and I'd define 'interaction' as 'a shift in the balance between two people'. The audience laughed so much that we ended the scene, but afterwards the players claimed that this idea was an example of being original something I tell them not to be so I explained that the spectators had laughed so much precisely because the idea was so blindingly obvious. Negating Tilts is like stabbing the neck muscles of a bull to ready it for the matador, whereas what we really want is for the bull to be catapulted into his bedroom in the early hours. Challenges to 'the best tilt' are inadvisable because the audience won't understand the terminology.
