Reviews

“Flick’s very funny play…is unexpected, touching and delightful.”
- Stage Whispers (GAG REFLEX)

“Gag Reflex is unapologetically crude, chaotic and sexually explicit, but beyond the over-the-top laughs, there is a surprisingly thoughtful coming-of-age story.”
- My Melbourne Arts (GAG REFLEX)

“Flick is clearly a force to be reckoned with in terms of imagination and provocations raising contemporary issues and stimulating debate.”  
- Stage Whispers (SLUTNIK™ 2: Planet of the Incels)

“SLUTNIK™ 2: Planet of the Incels is brilliant theatre” 
- What Did She Think? (SLUTNIK™ 2: Planet of the Incels)

“[Flick & Tansy Gorman] are some of our most critically rigorous, and considered theatre makers…” 
- Guy Webster (SLUTNIK™ 2: Planet of the Incels)

”SLUTNIK™ 2: Planet of Incels has cult classic written all over it.” 
- The Blurb (SLUTNIK™ 2: Planet of the Incels)

“Theatre may never be the same” 
- The Age (SLUTNIK™)

“Flick’s work is bold, unapologetic, and exactly the type of theatre we need more of on Australian stages.” 
- Theatre Travels (SLUTNIK™)

“SLUTNIK™ is quite possibly one of the strangest live performances I have ever watched, and I loved every second of it.” 
- RMITV (SLUTNIK™)

“The show-and-tell humour lands with perfection per writer and director duo Flick and Tansy Gorman’s collaborative queer theatre-making – and with some intellectual base.” 
- Australian Arts Review (SLUTNIK™)

”The script is smart and even though it’s full of ideas and dilemmas it never feels overstuffed.” 
- Keith Gow (SLUTNIK™)
