"The fantastic sets, sound effects, and deft direction by Trip Cullman all complement Flanery's performance perfectly. The atmosphere of a run-down city apartment is replicated realistically, with flashing lights and streetcar noises used to great effect during important moments in the plot. The meat hanging from the ceiling adds an interesting touch, a touch open to interpretation. Is it meant to evoke a working-man atmosphere reminiscent of the Chicago meat-packing industries? Or is it symbolic of how humans are nothing more than slabs of meat?" – Bridget Kelly, Yale Daily News |
