    “

    Prescient and powerful, this play uses language confidently and accessibly. Though this is about another place and time, one cannot help but see in Davis's work, parallels to our current extremism, and the strength and courage of anyone who defies it.

    This is a richly conceived, harrowing, compelling play. More than a clear portrait of a courageous woman--though it is certainly that--it creates a sense that, even in the worst of times, there can be a possibility of goodness and nobility.
