 Theatre Out Of Control with Michael Cathcart,  Books and Arts Daily

“I found the experience moving and deeply human, and it will remain with me for a long time.”  Jeannette Delamoir, Aussie Theatre

  “It is pleasurable and seductive and we comply. The cast is extraordinarily cohesive with its style, dialect and presence. Thrilling soundscapes and music of David Herrero. Beautiful and innovative set design by Gemma O’Nions. Sensationally dressed by Alex Peter Francis Jackson”

he Silence Came Press

The Brag – May, 2014

“This piece is so far beyond traditional theatre that when you leave at the end, you’ll feel shaken, bewildered, and maybe angry. And theatre that makes you feel this strongly is the best kind of theatre. 4.5/5 stars”

- Hannah Warren, The Brag

The Sydney Morning Herald – April, 2014

“It’s ‘choose your own adventure’ in a way, but more complex than that,” Maurice says. “If the audience wants to get involved to the point that the whole event goes off the book, that’s exactly the kind of theatre we want to make.”

- Elissa Blake, Sydney Morning Herald

The Daily Telegraph – April, 2014

“Pieced together, the scenes tell a story – one inspired by the great narratives of our culture – the story and fables that endure down the ages.”

- Chris Hook, Daily Telegraph

The Brag – May, 2014

“The risk is in how audiences will react to being set free in a show. It’s exciting to break the conditioning of being told where to sit and when to get up and when to respond. Audiences are intelligent, astute and savvy – they deserve entertainment that trusts them, theatre that puts their desire at the centre,” says Maurice.

“The house is physically open and you are seeing into people’s lives, people’s relationships with their partners and other people’s lives,” Campbell said.

- Lauren Murada, North Shore Times

The Bee and the Tree – April 2016

“Each individual responds in their own way and Mongrel Mouth have a shining reputation for creating experiential work. As an immersive theatre collective, it seems a natural step for the company to take their imaginative way of working into the realm of children’s theatre”

“Issues of sustainability, crashed bee colonies and the protection of trees are explored in a child centred fun way without anything heavy handed or preachy.”
