“NARRATIVE THEATRE AT ITS BEST…”
“Under Eric Ting’s graceful direction and in the strong, sensitive hands of its eight-person ensemble cast, the production is POETICALLY UNIQUE.”
(E. Kyle Minor, NEW HAVEN REGISTER)

“Director Eric Ting’s talent here is in making sure the play visually mirrors the spiritualized, abstract excitement of Morrison’s prose.”
(Chris Arnott, NEW HAVEN ADVOCATE)

“… eight actors, under the direction of Eric Ting, deftly sketch a vivid picture of a community shaped, and often scarred, by the casual racism of the dominant culture.”
(Sylviane Gold, NEW YORK TIMES)

“EXTRAORDINARILY THEATRICAL AND EFFECTIVE…”
(Karen Bovard, HARTFORD ADVOCATE)

“… unfolds as an anatomy of a tragedy, a gradual dissection of the characters involved and the forces at play.”
(Deborah Hornblow, HARTFORD COURANT)
