REVIEWS
"Mind-blowing images and soul-crushing language flowing wildly" ~ Back Stage
"A submersion in the anarchy of ambivalence: variously a rant, a riff, a rumble - about our notions of naturalism, objectification, perversity, and beauty ... There's sass and sarcasm in Callaghan's high-energy punk writing" ~ John Lahr, The New Yorker
"Raunchy, savvy ... the twisted, caffeinated world of the show imagines the collective subconscious of a culture where girls never stop going wild ... [Callaghan] pushes her audience's buttons with an aggressive treatment of some of the darker corners of the human psyche" ~ The New York Times
