Avant-vaudeville mixed with Richard Foreman... riotous displays of props, inexplicably captivating pranks, and perplexing plots inspired by influences ranging from Godzilla movies and spaghetti westerns to Guy Debord. - Art Forum Best of 2007
One of New York's most remarkable companies - The Village Voice
The quintessential American performance group - The Drama Review
The New York Times, By JASON ZINOMAN
Moral Righteousness Meets Down and Dirty "It's a stunning stage image, like something out of a Robert Wilson production, translating nature into sleek technology."
The Brooklyn Rail, Alexis Clements Hooch & Hatchetation Radiohole takes on the Nation
"Carrie A. Nation is all color and personality. And yes, it’s on purpose that her name reads like a righteous phrase, she trademarked it."
PaperMag, By Tom Murrin STAGE NOTES: ANGER/NATION
"Radiohole always seems to go further to do something on stage that you won’t see anywhere else."
TimeOut NY, David Cote Anger/Nation
"As at most Radiohole events, audience members are there to witness a cryptic but well-crafted machine in action. Gender roles, mortality and the monotony of erotic obsession are explored amid a barrage of light and sound effects. What’s new is the scale and complexity of the set, which is truly baroque."
NYTheatre, Ross Peabody FLUKE Page 1
FLUKE Page 2
"No matter the material or the presentation of it, you always want to see what these performers will do next, usually because it's engaging (at worst) and mind-blowing (at best), but also because, honestly, they might really hurt themselves. Not to mention that they're all just so good."
TimeOut NY, David Cote FLUKE
"As with most of Radiohole's technically brilliant if hermetic works, it's the ingenious stagecraft that haunts you."
The Village Voice, Alexis Soloski Cooking With Cowboys
"...They've taken a deconstructed fuck-up of a western and contrived to make it alarming, surprising, and very nearly profound"
TimeOut NY, Lisa Quintela Radiohole is Still My Name
"[it] unfolds like a deranged KFC commercial crossed with a trippy Western."
Offoffonline, Steve Luber Take It and Eat It
"Thank the sweet Lord above for Radiohole."
The Brooklyn Rail, Brook Stowe Radiohole is Still Their Name
"...a remarkable display of both gymnastic masticating and just plain old down-home, belch-ripping guzzling."
Culturebot, by Culturebot Touch Me I'm Radiohole
"...remember the giddy euphoria you felt the first time you dropped acid? "
Theater 2k, Brook Stowe Radiohole Pillages Mutes, Canada
"...Imagine, if you haven't already tried it, watching "Ice Station Zebra" on some really good acid and witnessing stoic Rock Hudson melt into a pair of questing female twins/split psyches/fucked-up bitches as they swirl in a delirious downward spiral of murder, death, the possible second coming of Christ, Pepsi, and the swinging Hudson Bay club scene while up top behind them, a tattooed bald guy in red overalls spins syrupy vintage luau vinyl upon a really unsafe-looking swaying platform.

WURST (take it and eat it)(I mean... take it and keep it)
Time Out, David Cote Wurst Review
"Wurst engages the same creepy blood-sword-ring-truth atavism that fuels both religious terrorists and fantasy epics..."
Curtainup.com, Les Gutman A CurtainUp Review
"I don't purport to be a theoretician, so I can't define it, but I know it from a certain tingling feeling I get (and I don't mean the one in my ass from sitting on plywood risers for an hour or so)"
Bend Your Mind Off (with the Collapsable (sic) Giraffe)
Emergency, Matvei Yankelevich Bend Your Mind Off
"All that's left is pure laughable anguish."
Village Voice, Alexis Soloski Fake Germans Enjoy Beer, Porn
"...rickety set, gimcrack tech equipment, heads slammed into mikes, bodies thrown against rubber, flung tampons, and beer bottles hurled in the dark..."
Time Out, David Cote Bend Your Mind Off
"...it seems like a laundry list of unconnected perversities"
Rodan
Village Voice, Alexis Soloski Destroy All Monsters
".I hope Japan is properly grateful."
The History of Heen (Not Francis E. Dec ESQ.)
Village Voice, James Hannaham Theater
"...they keep the performance ahead of the art."
Village Voice, Charles McNultyPsycho Analysis
"...an impressively executed, if often baffling, theatrical head trip..."
Village Voice, Alexis Soloski Garage Music
"...perhaps it will make it easier for them to get a booking or recieve a grant""
CurtainUp, Les Gutman
A History of Heen
"For downtown theater denizens, this rates close to a must-see"
Bender
Village Voice, James HannahamBender
"all attending the noon performance of Bender were treated to a Bloody Mary and an intoxicating thrill."
Back Stage, Jane Hogan Bender
"...a grown man wearing nothing but a silver lamé diaper."
