“Land of the Tigers”: 100% Sweet

SWEET
Land of the Tigers is two plays. Sort of. The first is an exquisitely silly parody of important, symbolic, avant guard, political, socially conscious and wholly pretentious theatre. The second is not quite so exquisite, a parody of the process by which such a play as the first might come to be.
Geoff Hoff – LA Theatre Review

SWEET
Act 1 of the Burglars of Hamm’s hilarious and thought-provoking comedy, Land of the Tigers, outlandishly crosses Cats with Planet of the Apes. In a whimsical world where felines walk upright and speak English (but thankfully don’t caterwaul “Memory”), a veritable Kingdom of Tigers prance around in feathered wigs and topcoats, while debating important matters (to cats, anyway) in the Tigressional Congress.
Paul Birchall – LA Weekly

SWEET
Subversively inventive and consistently entertaining, the troupe’s latest collaborative creation is really two anti-plays in one, each balancing camp and artistry in Matt Almos’ deft staging. The first, a hilariously ridiculous and pretentious allegorical drama built on the aforementioned conceit, presents a skillful parody of the kind of theatrical productions that result from the over-earnest pursuit of a conceptual misstep.
Philip Brandes – LA Times

SWEET
Land Of The Tigers turns out to be a wildly original, deliciously silly comedy about the genesis of the above (fictional) play. Act One shows us the “finished product.” Act Two reveals the “genius” behind the “masterpiece.”
