When I read wonderfully bizarre, thoroughly imaginative, viscerally disturbing, and utterly impossible plays like this one, it inspires me to be just a little bit braver. What a wild, totally unpredictable ride through a brilliant theatrical, consistently hilarious, unexpectedly logical (???) world! There are so many incredible stage images that will stick with me for a long time! Also, I feel like I learned a lot about what happens at typical strip clubs.

This is an entirely bonkers piece of theater, filled with hilarious awkwardness and impossible stage directions and a funny bone placed somewhere near its (bloody) heart. Operating on pretty much every conceivable level at once, QUICHE takes no prisoners yet offers rich rewards. So, so bizarre and fun -- not necessarily in that order.

Giddy and demented, Monokian has taken all the ways our culture associates "sex" with "death" and transfigured them into a delirious, surreal mix of teenage soap opera, social satire, and serial killer thriller. With zombie cheerleaders and a talking chihuahua, of course.
