Winner of ‘Best Playwright,’ ‘Best Design’, and ‘Special Jury Award for Ensemble Performance’
Origin's 1st Irish Festival, NYC
‘Goofiness is next to godliness….blissful’
– New York Times ★★★★(Critic’s Pick)
‘These Irishmen and their bears have mastered the strange alchemy of transforming misshapen jokes and awkward repartee into contagious hilarity, and underneath their endless sarcasm they are really very sweet.’
– The New Yorker
‘A batshit-crazy comedy puppet show about a couple of bears in space…a riotous, hilarious, trippy journey to infinity and beyond’
– TIME OUT London ★★★★
‘An otherworldly hoot…leaves you feeling the universe has been kept safe for funny business’
– Washington Post
‘You get the sense that this is something really special for Collapsing Horse, whose clear love for their craft is a thrill to watch’.
– The Stage ★★★★
“Razor-sharp ridiculousness and a dry self-awareness make Collapsing Horse’s hour truly great. It may be “literally a show about bears in space”, but Bears is simply so much more.”
– Fest ★★★★
‘a play that’s practically bursting with ideas; a honey pot of comedy, thick with wit and absurdity…the sheer glee of the whole thing knows no bounds’
– Broadway Baby ★★★★
'Definitely one of the must-sees of this year’s Fringe… be immersed in the illusions created by the entire, ridiculously excellent, group of young performers.'
-EdFest ★★★★
