Press Reviews

"A great deal of compassion... Its strength lies in the poignancy of its star-crossed lovers."

— The New York Times

"Childress’ genius lies in her beautiful weaving of the character arcs."

— Broadway World UK

"It’s an exhilarating find, blending politics, prejudice, social realism, melodrama and romance."

— Evening Standard
