JOANNA GLOVINSKY certified reviewer June 26, 2015
Incredible show! Have never enjoyed theater so much or have been so affected by a show. Tasteful, graceful, incredibly engaging and hilarious!! Cookie and the monster makes the things we don't want to talk about palatable and beautiful. Super impressive. ... full review

Having seen parts of this story at Sacred Fool's Serial Killers, I was glad to know that Jaime Andrews had pushed ahead and completed a full script. Personifying that nagging voice we all have in our head is a compelling idea and watching Mr. Leggett's embodiment of that ever-present voice is a lot of fun even as Monster pushes, accuses, blames, and guilts Cookie (Andrews) into becoming a low functioning, bad-girl version of herself. As Cookie indulges in all sorts of self-destructive behavior, we feel for this young woman struggling to grow up with no strong outside influence to help. Guy Picot plays Cookie's better self ("Sky Guy") but Cookie dismisses this other voice early, leaving her alone with her Monster for most of the play ... full review

Great concept and title..... Entertaining as well.... The monster was very real and reflected those monsters we all have... However.... I would have enjoyed this piece more if it were a bit shorter and kept to 1 hr..... I felt some of the scenes were a bit long winded.... There was also a lot of masculine energy in the piece and I wasn't surprised to see that it was a male director.... Which I then understood why certain scenes were longer than others..... I would love to see this piece directed by a woman ..... Overall fun and takes you to another world........ full review
