The Vomit Talk of Ghosts - The cutting Ball Theater

"Under Rob Melrose's direction, this fairy tale for adults is an engrossing, spookily demented study of two teenage girls preoccupied with death, sex, and casting spells to summon a sexually abusive ghost.

Ellie (Paige Rogers), who blithely delivers some brilliant comic non sequiturs, and Tom (Richard Bolster) are richly demented."
-Gene Price
The San Francisco Bay Times

"Cutting Ball Theater's The Vomit Talk of Ghosts,  which is packing them in at the Exit on Taylor, may be on the move. Vomit is an often intense, funny and provocativewrestle with mortality, spiritualism and a death wish wrapped in a disturbingly graphic and overheated depiction of the sexual yearnings of two 14-year-old girls. It's tough stuff -- and tender, confrontational, funny, nonlinear, ingeniously cryptic (pun intended) and at times opaque in Cutting Ball founder Rob Melrose's forceful staging on Michael Locher's wonderfully active attic bedroom set...The play is often as bracingly entertaining as it is perversely unsettling."  
-Robert Hurwitt
The San Francisco Chronicle

"From Cutting Ball comes the world premiere of a play so profane, so lubricious, and so fundamentally demented that it's easily one of the most satisfying theatrical evenings around."
