“Distinctly Pig Iron — physical and funny, moments of startling visual clarity and emotional intensity… a surprising success, a beautifully realized but abstract meditation… an undefinable yet fascinating whole.”

Philadelphia City Paper  citypaper.net

 

“A bold new work that shows Philly’s most adventurous company has lost none of its zeal for theatrical exploration… With the experimental Lizardbrain Pig Iron takes more risks than most companies do in an entire season… Pig Iron’s examination of the human mind is never less than captivating… James Sugg [gives] a dazzling dual performance… Sugg’s Lizardbrain is a masterful creation. Dmitri is equally fascinating… Nick Kourtides’ sound design is a wonder of innovation.”

Philadelphia Weekly  philadelphiaweekly.com

 

“Watching Pig Iron Theatre Company's latest marvel… is much like waking up displaced outside a fin de siecle dream… the result is stimulating theatre, with the triune brain the apparent point of departure and, after cavorting and intermingling, Chekhov the destination, sort of.”

“Sugg is one of those incredibly versatile performers who brings something new to the stage every time he graces it: it doesn't feel like you're watching James Sugg playing Chekhov Lizardbrain, it feels like you're watching Chekhov Lizardbrain himself. It's something lesser performers aspire to.”

“Weird… should be funnier.”
