Lisa B. Thompson’s Underground is outstanding. So much tension, doubt, courage and determination simmers under the lyrical rhythms of Mason and Kyle’s remarkably paced dialogue. Their arguments give accurate insight into the pride and pain of those fighting racism for themselves and for their people. This is a timely and trustworthy story for right now at this moment in time.

Riveting from start to ending. This political thriller asks challenging and important questions, and gives no easy answers. I really appreciated the playwright's thoughtful choices, particularly the historical context in which the play is set. Will not only engage audiences but keep audience members in deep conversation long after the play is over.

A powerful and exceptionally timely drama, UNDERGROUND is verbal chess match between two old friend over how they will work to liberate their people as the rising tide of white supremacy prompts revolutionary activism.
