Listed in Time Out NY’s “20 Best Theatre Shows in NYC in 2016”

“I can’t think of another company that plays so confidently in Beckett’s shadow, …Mad, careening prose and the sudden brake—it’s a rhythm only Banana Bag does so well.”
– Helen Shaw, Time Out New York

“The work’s debt to Beckett is forthright, but it translates the bleak comedy of that Irish master into an exuberant American vernacular.”
– Ben Brantley, New York Times

“In Banana Bag and Bodice’s Longyarn, at the Bushwick Starr, storytelling is more than a creative force with the power to shape lives. For the three characters we meet here, a mother and two sons, stories are their lives. The narrative that pours in a nearly constant flow out of the mother (played by the brilliant Jessica Jeliffe) is a force that exerts an irresistible pull on each of them; even if, for one son, it dominates by way of his reaction against it.”
– Olivia Jane Smith, New York Theatre Review

“A roundabout parable of the redeeming power of imagination, this new piece by the venturesome Brooklyn troupe Banana Bag & Bodice begins with tall tales of maternal cows, crack pipes, prizefighting, and piracy, and finishes with an extraterrestrial flourish.”
The New Yorker
