    “ "The not knowing is always my fault somehow."

    Absolutely stunning short piece of theatre. Immersive, spiritual, important. Please read and produce this play! ”

    “ A gorgeous, powerful play about the art of remembering. This is a beautiful piece of poetry that would be stunning to see performed. There is such a groaning and such a longing in the words, and it's utterly captivating. ”

    “ Philana Imade Omorotionmwan creates new imaginative spaces with her writing -- a fine example is this 5-minute play. This kind of space-making results in a special theatricality, a verbal and visual spectacle that exists in reality and and in the mind - combining past and present - it's so stunning. Read, listen, PRODUCE. ”

    “ This should be beautiful in performance, incorporating elements of dance, music, and ritual. A young girl breaks through her contemporary American world to discover truths about her Nigerian ancestors. Just lovely. ”

    “ Produced a reading of this in 2018 and Philana's words really pop onstage especially with a team that is committed to bringing forth the physicality that the piece conjures. ”

    “ A play full of music, movement, poetry, and deep, deep beauty, HOW ARE YOU CALLED? is a story about heritage: the things we forget, the things we long to remember. I desperately want to see a production of this piece. ”

    “ Anyone who suddenly became bold enough, curious enough, or determined enough about understanding, or willing to investigate their background will appreciate this play, because there's no promise it will be pretty. The promise is it will be rewarding, perhaps only to your personal, individual soul. Nevertheless. A brief, brave, bracing piece of literature worthy of every advantage any form of Drama could acquire or require, this lovely short asks you to extend yourself, to attend what ever may be asked of your being. This's the entire point of theatre, a universal application of that elusive practicality, that radical idea: empathy. ”
