Goona Goona - Megan Terry - Bog

"It's tough to imagine 'a comic, gymnastic extravaganza about family aggression,' but the Omaha Magic Theater has done it.
Avant garde playwright Megan Terry's new play GOONA GOONA concerns child abuse as told to Punch and Judy, the story of a nuclear family meltdown is stylized to absurdity…
GOONA GOONA may be the best play the Magic Theater has staged."
Roger Catlin, Omaha World-Herald
"Megan Terry's GOONA GOONA turns out to be a racy, raucous and instructive piece of avant garde action theater somewhere this side of Grand Guignol and Artaud's theater of cruelty.
It's a 'musical' that is also educational, not only about family violence but also about a whole clutch of middle-class American attitudes. It plays like a cross between a circus and a surrealist sermon…
The play is a fascinating, always interesting exploration of the uses of the stage."
Joan Bunke, The Des Moines Register
