The Patron Saint of Sea Monsters
Peter Jay Sharp Theater
Running time: two hours and thirty minutes including one 15-min intermission
Reviews“The play's six actors portray 17 characters with a gonzo intensity that's scary, funny, and exhilarating. Meyer manages to find delight, humor, and something lovable in even the vilest human beings.”
— Brandon K. Thorp, Village Voice | Read Full Article“A dark fable about the power of true love and unshakable belief, rendered with wit, grit, and a stuffed raccoon. ”

“Glimmering with possibility, disorienting and clever, Marlane Meyer's The Patron Saint of Sea Monsters handily demonstrates overindulgence in the High Weird style. Danny Wolohan is brilliant. I love a good Twin Peaks–style gumbo. ”
— Helen Shaw, Time Out New York“A broad and surrealistic comedy about a David Lynch kind of town. ”
— Jesse Oxfeld, The Observer“Veers between loopy, Christopher Durang-style comedy and a sincerely cockeyed love story. Screeching, snarling, and demented, Candy Buckley is hilarious. ”
