• “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.”

• “A dark fable about the power of true love and unshakable belief, rendered with wit, grit, and a stuffed raccoon. ”

  — Joe Dziemianowicz, New York Daily News

• “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. ”

  — Charles Isherwood, The New York Times
