“Bursts through naturalism’s boundaries by sheer force of style, speed, imagination and shock tactics… This exhilarating theatre owes much to the performers whose work is enormously physical, their bodies pushed to perform the substance-enhanced feats of a bunch of crazies that match the on-speed dialogue…This is not mainstream theatre. It is, in its unique way, more exciting than that, more on the edge, raw and sometimes rough.”
Helen Thompson, The Age, 2001
