I found this play utterly fascinating and quite complex ... It's funny, but it is extremely arresting at the same time as it tackles issues around race, identity, migrants and attitudes towards the roles in which Black actors are cast in plays today. It is timely and political, as well as funny, and reflects major issues that have been brought to the foreground by the Black Lives Matters movement ... [The] great thing about this play is that it made me think. A memorable read.
