QUOTES OF NOTE

BASH'd

"BASH’d is furious, fast-moving, hip-hop entertainment! As one of the lyrics proclaims, “it’s Romeo meets Romeo,” complete with an ample supply of scatological language, swaggering attitude and a keen, often hilarious sense of observation about gay life." — Associated Press

"BASH’d is brilliant … this is a show you don’t dare miss." — Toronto Star

"Audiences should be impressed by the passion of its convictions. The production … shows its rage, its grief, and its driven, heartfelt determination." — New York Times

"Besides being hugely imaginative, energized, and brash, BASH’d is also very, very funny." — Calgary Herald

"The idiosyncrasies of gay life are displayed vividly (and sometimes in raunchy detail) as Craddock and Cuckow snap from character to character, creating a world full of aggressive drag queens, disdainful lesbians, macho conservative dads, wayward straight boys and one pitch-perfect, loving-but-cringing mother." — New York Daily News
