"Dynamic energy on stage & i eagerly anticipate its hillarious return to the streets of nz theatre!" – Sky Cripps Jackson, hair stylist
"This show was a complete surprise - a totally different approach for theatre and packed full of laugh out loud moments. From the highly energetic and hilarious theatre-sports-cum-dance-mania opening, to the (semi-autobiographical?) gender vs gender couple clash all presented in a variety of guises (gorilla mask killed us), it's a riot. Go and see it. Seriously." -Joseph Jowitt, Film Editor
"This was the first theatre piece I'd ever been to in Auckland that didn't have any pretending in it. The actors were being real, and so was the framework they were performing in" - Cat Ruka, Performance Artist
"This experimental, linked series of vignettes works well on a number of levels, playing with theatre convention and expectations of fact and fiction. It's entertaining and fun, as well as clever and ambitious; and it's well-executed by its brave, bold and committed creators." – Janet McAllister, NZ Herald

"That was more fun than kittens!" – Josh Rutter, choreographer

"Fun, Silly, Bamboozling & Intriguing. Couple that with honesty & just the right amount of pathos. Go see it!" - Ascia Maybury, actor/agent
"I loved this show. It was dangerous, surprising, funny and at times very moving. It was fantastic to see such a different and honest piece of work in Auckland." – Sarah Gallagher, Actor
“This performance made me feel normal in all the right ways; the totally relatable energy and awkwardness of the characters - these are my people. Seeing this production was my gateway back into seeing live theatre. Instead of asking you to suspend disbelief, this productions hides nothing and instead invites you to become part of the performance. Truly fun and engaging. I loved the real-ness of this play. Obsession at its finest.” -

"I saw that show and it hurt my brain with emotion. I remember every moment of it, I have a lucid recollection of Stephen Bain walking blindly down the stairs with his head in the clouds, I loved the jump suit and the jumping, I loved the phone sex and the piano, I loved it all. So very vital a piece, so different from other theatre, unpretentious, sincere unique, a real joy to be hold, it gave me hope. It gave me hope and inspiration and I thank its creators and I thank God.
I thank God for what you did to me." - Hermione Johnson, Composer
