Lyn Gardner of [[The Guardian]] called the production a “gently witty, surprisingly charming little show”, and remarked that the material was handled with “a high degree of decorum”.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2000-08-07|title=Comedy review: Edinburgh festival: Puppetry of the Penis|url=http://www.theguardian.com/culture/2000/aug/08/artsfeatures.edinburghfestival20004|access-date=2021-06-08|website=the Guardian|language=en}}</ref> British critic Jill Sharp called the show a “theatrical extravaganza, celebrating with tongue-in-cheek innocence the flexibility of the phallus”.<ref name=":22" /> [[The Washington Post]] noted the performers’ “irrepressible wit… [they] will leave you laughing ridiculously”.<ref name=":13">{{Cite web|date=2004-08-25|title=Puppetry of the Penis survives|url=https://www.theage.com.au/entertainment/art-and-design/puppetry-of-the-penis-survives-20040826-gdyitr.html|access-date=2021-06-08|website=The Age|language=en}}</ref> [[The New York Times]] said, “it ingeniously emphasises the aspect of pure play in material that is normally sexually charged”.<ref name=":13" /> Other reviews were less favourable, criticising the show for its sexually graphic subject material. Conservative art critic [[Roger Kimball]] of the [[The New Criterion|New Criterion]] magazine called the production as “a juvenile example of the normalisation of deviance”, likening it to toilet humour.<ref name=":11" /> Kimball said that the show was nothing more than a repulsive “publicity stunt”.<ref name=":11" /> == Controversy == === Production Bans === Performance shows outside the [[pornography industry]] that feature genitalia risk breaching [[obscenity laws]], even when legitimatised as genuine works of art.<ref name=":14">{{Cite book|last=Meecham|first=Pam|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/55105525|title=Modern art : a critical introduction|date=2005|publisher=Routledge|others=Julie Sheldon|isbn=0-415-28193-8|edition=2nd|location=London|oclc=55105525}}</ref> The ''Puppetry of the Penis'' production employs practical measures, such as having performers stand with their backs to the audience, in order to avoid claims of public obscenity, and to enable the show to be performed in mainstream and civic theatres.<ref name=":8" /> In its production history, the show has faced bans from several international venues on the grounds of [[Indecency law|indecency]].<ref name=":14" /> ==== New Zealand ==== In May 2002, ''Puppetry of the Penis'' was banned from performing at the [[Royal Whanganui Opera House|Royal Wanganui Opera House]], New Zealand.

The UK tour included performances at the [[Grand Opera House, Belfast|Grand Opera House]] in Belfast and the Arts Centre in New Milton.<ref name=":9" /> As of 2003, the show had played in over 15 private venues in the U.S., with the country-run theatre in [[Rosslyn, Virginia|Rosslyn]] being the first public arts facility in the country to host the show.<ref name=":6" /> ''Puppetry of the Penis'' has grossed over fifty million dollars,<ref name=":1" /> and performed in 35 countries in six different languages.<ref name=":2" /><ref name=":28" /> == Reception == ''Puppetry of the Penis'' has been noted for its controversial material amongst theatre critics and journalists. In a review of the production at the Whitehall Theatre in London, published in [[The Independent]], Sarah Barrell said "[the show] is certainly one of the more playfully subversive pieces of theatre to come within reach of the capital's centres of power".<ref name=":24" /> The show has received positive reviews from major international news outlets. Lyn Gardner of [[The Guardian]] called the production a “gently witty, surprisingly charming little show”, and remarked that the material was handled with “a high degree of decorum”.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2000-08-07|title=Comedy review: Edinburgh festival: Puppetry of the Penis|url=http://www.theguardian.com/culture/2000/aug/08/artsfeatures.edinburghfestival20004|access-date=2021-06-08|website=the Guardian|language=en}}</ref> British critic Jill Sharp called the show a “theatrical extravaganza, celebrating with tongue-in-cheek innocence the flexibility of the phallus”.<ref name=":22" /> [[The Washington Post]] noted the performers’ “irrepressible wit… [they] will leave you laughing ridiculously”.<ref name=":13">{{Cite web|date=2004-08-25|title=Puppetry of the Penis survives|url=https://www.theage.com.au/entertainment/art-and-design/puppetry-of-the-penis-survives-20040826-gdyitr.html|access-date=2021-06-08|website=The Age|language=en}}</ref> [[The New York Times]] said, “it ingeniously emphasises the aspect of pure play in material that is normally sexually charged”.<ref name=":13" /> Other reviews were less favourable, criticising the show for its sexually graphic subject material. Conservative art critic [[Roger Kimball]] of the [[The New Criterion|New Criterion]] magazine called the production as “a juvenile example of the normalisation of deviance”, likening it to toilet humour.<ref name=":11" /> Kimball said that the show was nothing more than a repulsive “publicity stunt”.<ref name=":11" /> == Controversy == === Production Bans === Performance shows outside the [[pornography industry]] that feature genitalia risk breaching [[obscenity laws]], even when legitimatised as genuine works of art.<ref name=":14">{{Cite book|last=Meecham|first=Pam|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/55105525|title=Modern art : a critical introduction|date=2005|publisher=Routledge|others=Julie Sheldon|isbn=0-415-28193-8|edition=2nd|location=London|oclc=55105525}}</ref> The ''Puppetry of the Penis'' production employs practical measures, such as having performers stand with their backs to the audience, in order to avoid claims of public obscenity, and to enable the show to be performed in mainstream and civic theatres.<ref name=":8" /> In its production history, the show has faced bans from several international venues on the grounds of [[Indecency law|indecency]].<ref name=":14" /> ==== New Zealand ==== In May 2002, ''Puppetry of the Penis'' was banned from performing at the [[Royal Whanganui Opera House|Royal Wanganui Opera House]], New Zealand.
