Los Angeles Times - Recommended

"...However, under the light-hearted guidance of director Elina de Santos, the able cast achieves a lunatic buoyancy that sends the play soaring above its niggling dramaturgical flaws. As for Mersola's delightfully trashy play, it gets more outrageous with every scene - and that's a very good thing indeed."

LA Weekly - Somewhat Recommended

"...Mainly, though, the play is about its premise and nothing more. With transitional songs referring to a world under siege by garbage, this is a work that could actually be about something. Either it needs to be as thin as farce, or reconsidered more deeply."

"...Director Elina de Santos expertly maintains the perverse energies with flagrant disregard for convention. Lighting designer Leigh Allen and sound designer Christopher Moscatiello keep the transitions crisp, and the actors hurl themselves into the chaos."

"...Dirty Filthy Love Story is a perfectly executed, short and slovenly bout of fun that challenges the typical boundaries of theatre in true Rogue Machine style, and certainly serves as a reminder of just how fun and enjoyable theatre can be."

"...The simple fact that Dirty Filthy Love Story is playing both this weekend and next is manna enough for L.A. theatergoers. That it provides more laughs for your buck than any other show in town is icing on the dirty filthy cake."

"...If Dirty Filthy Love Story isn't quite the home run the Rogue Machine Theatre usually hits (their awards shelf-now that's something with a lot of weight) the show still has a lot going for it. Actually, its flaws are oddly reassuring."

"...Dirty Filthy Love Story" is hilarious, dark, amusing, and thoroughly entertaining. Elina de Santos does a brilliant job at directing and takes this production right over the top."
