Raves about Triffle's past shows 

 “Carol Triffle is Portland’s most prominent stage absurdist"

" Triffle sets loose a fine dark silliness in her savvy, gorgeously paced, very funny new play.” 

“ comedic sensibility of clowning applied to tragedy.” 

“Memorable and literally knee-slapping … perched on the precipice of perpetual giggles, over the abyss of belly laughs…”

 “Imago is such a treasure … couldn’t be more timely or more rudely entertaining…. .”

“Disturbingly funny … hilarious and surprisingly effecting emotionally, reviving theater’s capacity to truly surprise us,” 

 “It’s one-part horror movie, one-part demented musical and one-part situation comedy with a little burlesque slapstick thrown in for good measure.”

“Twisted, a delightful fever" 

“the oddball and laughable and sometimes more than slightly looney settle slowly, almost imperceptibly, into a deep and moving contemplation of the human condition” 

Triffle studied extensively with Jacques Lecoq in Paris, completing his pedagogical program. Drawing inspiration from Mr. Lecoq, Triffle places form and design at the forefront of theatre creation and infuses each production with an idiosyncratic physical energy. She wrote, directed and acted in Ginger's Green, which marked the beginning of a canon of 15 original music-theatre plays, including her last radio play titled The Lonely Vampire.
