"Karen Gibb's direction is slick and accomplished and is well served by
Craperi's conventional yet functional set. In less assured hands the play
would have faltered, but through a heightened stylization of the real Gibb
moves us into the purity of this very moving play and lets us glimpse its
epic qualities.
The acting ensemble is tight doubling as characters but also chorus
performing a grotesque but beautiful musical score. There are stand out
performances by Kate Hooper as the village slattern, Ron Pulman as Cyrus
Futz and Jeremy Cheetham as the village idiot. However it is Gibb's
performance of the village idiot's mother that will make you laugh but also
haunt you for days later.
TropicSun has delivered on what is a rare occurrence in North Queensland
grand theatre."

"...the black comedy is emphasised in this production and it is absolutely
hilarious... Director Karen Gibb's background in movement shines through as
the piece is cleverly choreographed... The cast thrive on the production's
physicality launching into their roles fearlessly and with much gusto... FUTZ ...does what theatre does best - it challenges our perceptions and
makes us talk about the world we live in."
