Press Reviews
"Epic events cross over and parallel each other in this panoramic view of Southern American history. By using famous figures and landmark events, SOUTHERN CROSS reveals the origins of the present by beautifully illustrating the injustices, loves and struggles of the past. “The play…attacks a huge amorphous subject with sensitivity, humor and respect…it emerges as a challenging, imaginative treatment of very difficult material.” —Star Tribune. ”Klein's sweeping poetic epic…takes a stern look at the people and events that have shaped Southern history since the 1830s. Klein has done a fine job at bringing the characters to life…all of them are engaging."
— Press Dispatch
