Reviews

"The puppeteers are outstanding, especially Julie Atherton, and Simon Lipkin This is the best thing with puppets since Shockheaded Peter. I predict a Kate Monster hit." The Sunday Times

"Within an extraordinarily talented ensemble Julie Atherton and Jon Robyns are quite brilliant in creating these puppet personalities. The former shows great versatility in the roles of both girl next door Kate Monster and her rival in love Lucy the Slut." The Stage

"The actors deftly combine the roles of puppet manipulators and performers. Julie Atherton catches all of Kate Monster's outsiderish yearnings." The Guardian
