Press Quotes
“In Michael Bradford’s rich play, five African American men witness a murder outside a barbershop in 1950 Georgia. All are weary of fighting for dignity in a racist world, but only one argues for action against the white killer while the others are afraid to speak out. Bradford captures the experiences of different generations of black men: the young have been traumatized by fighting World War II while the old remember lynchings.” —Jenn Goddu, Chicago Reader
“… Playwright Michael Bradford errs neither on the side of dry didacticism or soppy sentimentality in portraying his period, instead immersing his arguments in the vernacular associated with males-at-leisure … [permitting] each character the dignity of his individual experience.” —Mary Shen Barnidge, Windy City Times
