SHOCKHEADED PETER: PRESS
"The most wonderful theater you could wish to see in New York-or anywhere-SHOCKHEADED PETER fills me with joy...In it's marvelously inventive playful essentials, it is everything we love about theater, everything it should be in its imaginative right mind...You must see SHOCKHEADED PETER!"
-New York Observer
"Wondrously inventive...SHOCKHEADED PETER is in its own highly sophisticated league."
-New York Times
"Eerie, ingenious, deranged, playful, sadistic, original, hilarious and a work of genius. Mortgage your grandmother, if you have to, and auction the cat, but you don't want to miss [SHOCKHEADED PETER]."
-San Francisco Chronicle
"As brilliant as it is devilish...gruesome. And hilarious...think David Lynch doing children's theater...witty and spectacular."
-The Washington Post
"An exquisite creep-out...a remarkable black-comic achievement."
-Los Angeles Times
[SHOCKHEADED PETER] is a slyly ironic, ultimately joyful celebration of theater's powers to enthrall and transport us...a perfect match for Crouch and McDermott's strange, singular talents: the knack to make something out of nothing, and the trick of conjuring magic when we least expect it."
-Orange County Register
"A macabre, neo-Brechtian delight...the production will remind you of the English Victorian sideshow world inhabited by Sweeney Todd, The Elephant Man and the more sinister of Dickens's characters...perfectly dramatized."
-Time Out New York

"Warped and wonderful! One of the most imaginative, gruesomely enjoyable and surely award-winning shows of the year."
-The Daily Mail
"Wonderfully horrid...Darkly funny, ravishingly inventive."
-Evening Standard
"Triumphant, shockingly funny...magnificent...very, very nasty, but oh so nice."
-The Guardian
