Critics called the production ""An ambitious, brave play. Genuinely unsettling, disorientating and confrontational""  and declared Kennedy as ""one of the country's most fascinating theatre practitioners"". On 7 Dec 2018, Kennedy announced a year long partnership with New Wimbledon Theatre entitled Foreman At Fifty, a season of three plays from three unique parts of Richard Foreman's career to celebrate his 50th anniversary as a theatre maker. Kennedy launched The Phenomenological Theatre on 14 January 2018. The Phenomenological Theatre creates impulsive, chimerical stage productions summoned from deep inside the unconscious which turbulently reverberate. It produces multi-layered, deeply complex theatre pieces which speak to the transcendental phenomenology of humanity. Under Patrick Kennedy's deeply idiosyncratic aesthetic direction, The Phenomenological Theatre incorporates vaudeville, philosophy, slapstick, dadaism, surrealism and limitless other divergent sources. A statement from Patrick Kennedy said, "50 years after Richard Foreman founded his Ontological-Hysteric Theater, I thought it critical that we answer London's need for a new avant garde theatre company which continues Richard's work in the exploration of consciousness. This is especially important given the perilous social, economic and political times we live in."
