“Deadmouse regularly treats the audience with elaborate physical comedy and witty dialogue loaded with irreverent humour”
“There is an undeniably strong chemistry between the cast members, despite the absurdity of the premise and the larger-than-life nature of the characters; they all interact with each other very naturally and believably”
“moment-to-moment, the production consistently delivers both laughs and heartfelt character moments”
“The Deadmouse and Peabrain Dreams delivers laughs through its excellent use of character work and clowning techniques”
“if you are looking for a night of laughs and earnest character drama, be sure not to miss this one”
“Death and aspiration sit side by side in this dark, energetic, physical comedy”
“Awfully silly, but laugh aloud funny, beneath which lies an emotional core. It raises questions about how much one could or should rely upon a single goal and what happens when doubts start creeping into your head.”
"Each of the cast members impresses with their comedic representations, with Alana Louise, who wrote the work, leading the way, tapping into Shannon’s DNA. What stands out is how she carries herself throughout, notably her facial expressions. She is always in the moment, giving it her all"
"Sarah Palmieri is able to flip from hero to zero (from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows) at the drop of a hat. Give Jason Schwab and Joe Kenny a piece of clothing, a wig or some fake teeth and, like magic, they instantly channel a totally different role. Nice!"
"There is mayhem, madness and mirth about The Deadmouse and Peabrain Dreams"
The Deadmouse and Peabrain Dreams closes this Saturday 21 February at Explosives Factory.
