"It's tough to imagine 'a comic, gymnastic extravaganza about family aggression, ' but the Omaha Magic Theater has done it. Avant garde playwright Megan Terry's new play GOONA GOONA concerns child abuse as told to Punch and Judy, the story of a nuclear family meltdown is stylized to absurdity... GOONA GOONA may be the best play the Magic Theater has staged."
