Press Quotes
“Lonnie Carter’s GULLIVER TRILOGY screams and laughs like the irreverent love-child of Jonathan Swift, Joan of Arc and George Clinton. The wild maze of Carter’s satiric language propels you on a wondrous journey into the confusion of dark hatreds and heavenly aspirations swirling in America’s heart. As one who gleefully follows Mr Carter’s travels my only advice is, enjoy the trip!” —Neel Keller, Artistic Associate, La Jolla Playhouse
