QUOTE FROM JAMES McCAUGHEY - FARRAGO "Each year in Melbourne, Valerie Kirwan presents at La Mama Theatre an event of great vividness and mystery like no event the audience has seen before."

QUOTE FROM RUSSELL WALSH - FARRAGO. Kirwan's work is - "funny, terrifying, erotic, savage..." She presents "the viewer with what I would call `mythic' images, images which resonate deep down inside one and tap feelings right at the centre." Her play - Hamjamb And the Gigolo "was like a vast deja vu of feeling...She was able to create...a feeling of `I've been here before' through such original means."
