 “Goofiness is next to godliness….blissful”
– New York Times ★★★★(Critic’s Pick)

 “These Irishmen and their bears have mastered the strange alchemy of transforming misshapen jokes and awkward repartee into contagious hilarity”
– The​ ​New​ ​Yorker

“A batshit-crazy comedy puppet show about a couple of bears in space…a riotous, hilarious, trippy journey to infinity and beyond”
– TIME OUT London ★★★★

 “An otherworldly hoot…leaves you feeling the universe has been kept safe for funny business”
– Washington Post

 “You get the sense that this is something really special for Collapsing Horse, whose clear love for their craft is a thrill to watch.”
– The Stage ★★★★

“Razor-sharp ridiculousness and a dry self-awareness make Collapsing Horse’s hour truly great. It may be “literally a show about bears in space”, but Bears is simply so much more.” 
– Fest ★★★★

“a play that’s practically bursting with ideas; a honey pot of comedy, thick with wit and absurdity…the sheer glee of the whole thing knows no bounds” 
– Broadway Baby ★★★★

 “Definitely one of the must-sees of this year’s Fringe… be immersed in the illusions created by the entire, ridiculously excellent, group of young performers.”
-EdFest ★★★★
