ARTICLE: In for the chop

Paul Galloway, Melbourne Theatre Company, 26 September 2013

Eddie Perfect’s The Beast is a trip from hoof to hook, writes Paul Galloway.

REVIEW: The Beast, Melbourne Theatre Company

Byron Bache, Herald Sun, 8 October 2013

"Perfect's script is sly, wry and intelligent. It's clearly a soapbox for all the things Perfect holds dear - and the things he wishes were a little further away - but it's never preachy or bloated.

In form, The Beast is entirely conventional, but in execution it might be the most adventurous thing on the MTC stage in a long while."

REVIEW: Eddie Perfect's Beast comes alive

Chris Boyd, The Australian, 8 October 2013

"Eddie Perfect's new play, The Beast, is chaotic, offensive and incredibly indulgent - no surprises there - but the atom-splitting chaos is controlled and self-sustaining, the offence is given to hypocrites and snobs, mostly, and the writerly indulgence is utterly delightful."

Corina Thorose, Crikey, 11 October 2013

"Funny, heartbreaking and politically incorrect: Eddie Perfect’s first play is a winner. The dark satire is a razor-sharp examination of food stuff and middle-class values."
