Ever since it (Communicado) was formed under the
imaginative direction of Gerry Mulgrew, the company, with hardly a hiccup, has stayed at the top of the class. The class is total theatre, where no action, image or event is beyond the reach of actors free in spirit and physique, and where writer and director are fused in wise and audacious imagination
Brian Hayward - Times Educational Supplement March 1988

..it’s hard to say who laughs the loudest, the old age pensioners in the back row, the three year olds in the front, or the theatre critic in the middle. Its part of the achievement of Mulgrew and this particularly experienced and well chosen company that they create this cheerful, accessible atmosphere without sacrificing the exotic beauty that underlies the imagery of the tales. They also, even more remarkably, manage to celebrate and enjoy their own rich theatrical ingenuity and athleticism in telling these tales with a cast of six and the simplest of props.
