developed by CPT, NACL and Number Eleven Theatre. It had its World Premiere at
CPT in 2005 to rave reviews and has since been performed off-Broadway,
throughout the The critics are raving about this inventive original work: "A
force of nature... a manic, hilarious pas de deux … like nothing
I’ve ever seen." Linda Eisenstein, Cleveland Plain Dealer “A
rigorously performed experimental update of a Punch and Judy show with a
surplus of energy.” Jason Zinoman, The New York Times “A
fantastic performance, engaging both visually as well as intellectually…
moving, extremely funny.” The Argus, "A
funny, fascinating, sometimes tender meditation on the nature of love... highly
enjoyable as a knowing portrait of a rough-and-tumble kind of love." Adam Klasfeld,
Theatre Mania “A
remarkably eclectic, agile work…always fascinating.” – Brad
