"He shall slay his father. He shall marry his mother.
Watch now, spectator. Before you is a fully wound machine.
It is one of the most perfect machines devised by the infernal gods
​for the mathematical annihilation of a mortal.​"
- excerpt from the play by Jean Cocteau

"Bedard infused intelligent metaphors on socialism into The Infernal Machine, with deep commentary on society being both openly highlighted and discretely suggested at all the rights moments... Bedard had carefully placed surprises to keep his social commentary sensibly shocking and invigorating."
