"Strange, dense, brilliant wordplay...part poetry slam, part rave, part dog-eared storybook theater, and all edgy, infectious, ultra-theatrical entertainment. Kate Crackernuts is an adult fairy tale that, like its tough but vulnerable heroine, follows a warped dream logic while keeping its sharp-tongued wits about it."
Rob Kendt, Los Angeles Times
"Wild, quirky, funny tale of quest and conquest... Kate Crackernuts is funny, it's also a little risque, and a bit touching."
WFIU Indiana
"There's a wild terrain of words in this playwright's head...fantastical...a primal psychological crucible."
The Village Voice
"Kate Crackernuts...is replete with themes of maternity... Callaghan's wordplay is evocative and apt..."
Time Out New York
"An off-beat adaptation...eclectic but well-constructed, inventive...energetic, fun, and funny!"
OffOffOnline
"A new mythology for the 21st century...it's a great ride."
Back Stage West
"A pulsing dreamscape where fairy tale meets rave... Breathtaking, ingenious innovation."
The Trojan Horse (University of Southern California)
"Watching it is rather like viewing a Pablo Picasso exhibit -- full of color, angles, movement, musicians -- and if you must ask what this actually means, you've missed the show."
