“ Nambi E. Kelley's Native Son is an intensely moving, daring, theatrical adaptation! I am stunned by the dramaturgy, the spareness of the language and how it evokes a wholly relatable experience of trauma through oppression. She gives us an experience of Bigger as he twists and turns trying to find a way out of the maze that is the systemic whiteness of our world. Speaks as much to today as it ever did. This is necessary theatre, and I'm grateful for it! MUST BE READ AND PRODUCED! ”
