Critic's praise from around the world...
"Nobody is pushing the theatrical envelope with greater panache and bravery than Tricklock Company" Steven Robert Allen, Weekly Alibi
"(Tricklock Company)...a dazzling array of performance skills." Brian Nemtusak, "Critics Choice", Chicago Reader
"...imaginative...extremely talented ensemble..." One 4 Review, Edinburgh, Scotland
"Physically unstoppable...exceptionally talented ensemble!" Chicago Tribune
"A brilliant theatrical metaphor...one of the most inventive pieces of theatre I've ever seen-period." Steven Robert Allen, Weekly Alibi (about Tricklock's original production Splinters)
Rave reviews in Los Angeles for
The Glorious and Bloodthirsty Billy the Kid:
"This wonderfully quirky show is one of the most delightful, bouncy, and winning 75 minutes spent in theatre this year. The entire ensemble...is top of the line. The actors present their work with well-learned craftsmanship, high energy, and a giant helping of charm. The design team hits the bull's-eye every time." Backstage West, Critic's Choice
""Billy the Kid" takes no prisoners...has a subtle topical pulse amid the mania, shot through with rambunctious invention from its redoubtable troupe in multiple roles...the unpredictable, delightful verve makes "Billy the Kid" the kind of ribald frolic that theater exists for..." L.A. Times, Critic's Choice
"Peracchio's direction of his delightful performers is as outlandish and exaggerated as the (largely fictitious) biographical yarn they're spinning; the company doesn't walk on stage if they can leap, stomp or cavort." L.A. Weekly, Critic's pick
"The six performers...have Texas-sized talent, and exuberantly throw themselves into the characters and the expansive theatricality of the event - walking on stilts, swinging from a trapeze, performing card tricks. ...this is the greatest show on earth in Los Angeles, and you must go to see it." Eye Spy L.A.
"Tricklock Company impressively re-creates the zaniness of the 19th-century music hall revue in their energetic tribute to Wild West bad man William Bonney...they're zesty storytellers, displaying a well-honed dexterity...The Tricklock ensemble members seamlessly shift among characters and the myriad forms of performance shtick" Daily Variety
