"The Apollinaire Theatre Company in Chelsea has a reputation for finding smart, contemporary plays and MAMMALS hits its mark, thanks to director Danielle Fauteux Jacques’ edgy approach to the material. This hip cautionary tale transcends a soap opera plot to become a searing portrait of stressed out British thirtysomethings “at the mercy of [their] hormones.” Jacques gets spot on performances from Becca A. Lewis and James Bocock as unfulfilled parents of two precocious little girls (Lorna Nogueira and Alison Meirowitz). Ted Batch and Maria Schaedler-Luera create sparks as the couple’s sparring friends. Playwright Amelia Bullmore couldn’t have a better production, even across the pond."
