"Exceptionally entertaining theater... A major achievement [for Killing My Lobster]... Outrageously libidinous knockabout farce meets penetrating social satire in Peter Nachtrieb's hilariously revelatory comedy. An almost two-hour laugh riot... An engaging, astute, no-taboos comedy of contemporary manners that skewers the moral, artistic, spiritual, gourmet and even back-to-nature pretensions of our society."- Rob Hurwitt, San Francisco Chronicle

"A superb satire from which an incredibly unique brand of humor and rhythm emerges... Nachtrieb’s beautiful script is made so by an exorbitantly talented cast of
actors." San Francisco Examiner

"Wickedly funny.... [a] stunning comedy that nails the Gen X adult ethos squarely and proves Nachtrieb to be one of the freshest new theatrical voices going." Pat Craig of the Contra Costa Times.

"The actors give it their all and their triumph is that they hunt for laughs and gather something with a little more meat on its bones."-Chad jones, oakland tribune

"...mash-up of the most brutal episode of Wild Kingdom and any episode of South Park, you’d get something close to Hunter Gatherers" Karen McKevitt in the Guardian.

"Nachtrieb's riotous new comedy observes what happens during mankind's fall, showing that the distance between 21st-century, middle-class Northern Californians and cavemen might not be so great after all." - Chloe Veltman, SF Weekly

"full-throttle theater that keeps you both on edge and laughing..." Richard Dodds, Bay Area Reporter

"This Killing My Lobster world premiere actually makes Albee’s “The Goat” feel quite subtle. Restrained even. This here is theater that squirts in your eye." Karen D'Souza, San Jose Mercury News 

 Go see this play. You will witness appalling behavior, laugh out loud, wince with painful recognition, maybe be a bit outraged here and there, but you will not be bored. - Ed Brownson, Betty's List

"...food and sex go hand in hand...a truth that playwright Peter Sinn Nachtrieb has ingeniously captured in “Hunter Gatherers”. - SF Station

"When a story's enacted a few yards in front of us by people who sweat, spit, and bleed. . . we're reminded that we, too, are alive. Hunter Gatherers reminds us that we're alive." - KQED

"Astonishing writing and enormously funny. . . . The breakout hit of the summer!" -Beyond Chron

"The up-and-coming playwright has written a dazzling dark comedy that will have you howling in the aisles." -Talkin' Broadway
