"Fresh, bright, and irresistible!"
Christian Science Monitor
"Playwright Kira Obolensky invents a theatrical dream world in which the man
who famously envisioned melting clocks helps (in his signature
boundary-blurring way) a reluctant couple melt into each other...the piece is inspired."
Charles McNulty, Los Angeles Times
"Lobster Alice is a gleeful meditation on the marriage of artistic creation and sexual desire. A virtual rabbit hole of visual surprises, romantic suspense and silly-sophisticated wordplay, it's a frisky, fanciful surrealist romp that opens the doors of the imagination and tickles the intellect in rare and magical ways... Lobster Alice ranks among the most pleasurable stage experiences of the year."
Wendell Brock, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"At once confusing, disturbing, and sometimes hilarious, Obolensky's play is always fascinating and provocative."
Ryan Knoke, PULSE of the Twin Cities
"Plunges its characters into a vortex of mindscrambling surrealism..."
New York Times
"Obolensky shows a flair not only for the quirky twist and surreal image, but for neatly pointed dialogue... Like any strange dream, Lobster Alice tantalizes the imagination and lingers in the memory."
Houston Chronicle
"Kira Obolensky's Kesselring Prize-winning comedy is about art and lobsters -- or, more precisely, about the juxtaposition of apparently dissonant ideas and the delightful confluence that occasionally results... Lobsters may be as odd a metaphor for creative inspiration as has ever been concocted, but like everything else in Obolensky's play, the plucky crustaceans prove apropos."
