"Playwright Barry Lowe has come up with this intriguing and witty play, featuring 'Norman' who has an obsession with re-creating the scenes from movies - including the shower scene from Alfred Hitchcock's film Psycho. Both Robin castles as Norman and Alfie Lee as Crowe are superb as they take the audience through their subsequent battle for domination and descent into madness."
        - Nine to Five, 27 November, 1995 (page 21)
 
"Crowe (Alfie Lee) is an odd job man, a hunk who rolls up to the comfortable home of a lonely, middle-aged Norman (Robin Castles) who has a predilection for taxonomy and rough trade call boys capable of re-enacting, up to a fake blood knife point, his favourite film scene. He's done it often, apparently, and likes to climax the scene by masturbating furiously into a motherish wig ... proves to be one of Barry Lowe's more contained and archly witty conceits for the queer stage. It's short, blackly funny and quite beautifully acted. It's also nicely underdone, strangely sexy and sharply directed [by Bridge Andrews]"
        - Steve McLeod, Sydney Star Observer, 14 December, 1995 (page 44)
