Life of a Craphead Interviews Life of a Craphead, Hunter and Cook Issue 4
"The performances from Toronto's Life of a Craphead (Amy Lam and Jon McCurley) feel so good on your brain. They go right to the part that understands but doesn't share with the other parts of your brain - the parts that could explain what is happening. But then those parts start understanding something else and then, somehow, every part of your brain is being massaged by a fire in-the-know and then it is over. It can feel like good drugs, but really, it's more like spinach."

"The best thing I saw in 2008 may well have been Double Double Land Land, a play that really played, a romp, an absurdity, an entertainment, a flash of muddy light"
--- Carl Wilson, editor & critic for the Globe and Mail
