schnoz

In Jamie Lloyd’s celebrated British production of Crimp’s adaptation that came to the Brooklyn Academy of Music in 2022, no prosthetic schnoz was employed.

Martin Crimp’s modern English version of the play reminds us that the monstrous schnoz isn’t really the point.

Resembling a pug-size hedgehog with the schnoz of an anteater, they are one of only five living species of monotreme, that rare mammal that lays eggs.

It resembles the psychedelic fly agaric mushroom, a fungus as bright red as Rudolph's schnoz sprinkled with white flecks like snow.

Most importantly, I can work out without worrying a plate will whack me in the schnoz.
