Press Reviews
"MUD, RIVER, STONE begins with a notion: a romantic journey to Africa, an opportunity to get in touch with spiritual roots. It becomes a most unexpected and bizarre adventure. “…a brilliant idea for a play…an evening of fascinating insights.” —New York Daily News. ”Each of Nottage's characters is a rich bundle of ideas and issues, as well as a sharp but sympathetic psychological portrait.“ —Village Voice. ”Playwright Lynn Nottage pulls off a deft bait-and-switch with her new play: She seduces us into believing we're settling into a sardonically funny vacation-from-hell travelogue, then brings in elements that are violent, disturbing and deeply thought provoking."
— Newsday (NY)
