Drunken Bakers - Critical Acclaim

Critical Acclaim

The Strip and the Tate Britain exhibition have received wide critical acclaim from both the art and literary worlds:

I think the Drunken Bakers is like Samuel fucking Beckett or something. It's horrible and really funny. - Alan Moore

Comedy drunks have been around since drinks first began, but few have been so utterly forlorn as the Drunken Bakers. - Steve Lowe, The Guardian

The aesthetic compression of Mr Farmer's dialogue and Mr Healey's line...convey an oppressive sense of the drinker's irresistible drive for oblivion. - Roberta Smith, New York Times

It's brilliant. - Christopher Howse, The Daily Telegraph

Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or acclaim:

    It would be easy ... to regard the whole of world 3 as timeless, as Plato suggested of his world of Forms or Ideas.... I propose a different view—one which, I have found, is surprisingly fruitful. I regard world 3 as being essentially the product of the human mind.... More precisely, I regard the world 3 of problems, theories, and critical arguments as one of the results of the evolution of human language, and as acting back on this evolution.
    Karl Popper (1902–1994)

    in every language even deafanddumb
    thy sons acclaim your glorious name by gorry
    by jing by gee by gosh by gum
    —E.E. (Edward Estlin)
