It ain't easy being green: Croak is a poetic negotiation between a species in crisis and its many cultural markers.

Croak is a frog-and-girl opera in three parts, played out like a YouTube mashup of mid-century cartoons set to a contemporary pop song. It parades, mutilates, and reacquaints Kermit the Frog with Girl 00010111, Michigan J with Aristophanes, and biblical plagues with caged canaries in a vaudevillian play of time, culture, gender, and narrative. Combining vivisection and classical literature, empirical observation and philosophical speculation, Jenny Sampririsi''s grotesque characters splash and sparkle before moving toward their inevitable narrative end.

''As invigorating and idiosyncratic a collection as this reviewer has encountered in some time. A must-read.'' – Seth Abramson, Huffington Post
