It's tough to imagine 'a comic, gymnastic extravaganza about family aggression, ' but the Omaha Magic Theater has done it.
Avant garde playwright Megan Terry's new play GOONA GOONA concerns child abuse as told to Punch and Judy, the story of a nuclear family meltdown is stylized to absurdity...
GOONA GOONA may be the best play the Magic Theater has staged.
Roger Catlin, Omaha World-Herald
Megan Terry's GOONA GOONA turns out to be a racy, raucous and instructive piece of avant garde action theater somewhere this side of Grand Guignol and Artaud's theater of cruelty.
It's a 'musical' that is also educational, not only about family violence but also about a whole clutch of middle-class American attitudes. It plays like a cross between a circus and a surrealist sermon...
The play is a fascinating, always interesting exploration of the uses of the stage.
Joan Bunke, The Des Moines Register
