Stage and Cinema
“A FREAKY, FUNNY, AND FEROCIOUSLY ENTERTAINING MUST–SEE…. a gloriously unhinged rollercoaster of camp, chaos, and surprisingly heartfelt humanity. With powerhouse performances, blood-soaked hilarity, and a script that walks the fine line between satire and sincerity (then gleefully somersaults over it), this production is a howling good time.” — Tony Frankel, Stage and Cinema
