This play shook me through and through and reminded me yet again how memory and trauma move through us in such human ways - I cried for us all. Thank you for writing such a moving and beautiful play that does not shy away from the terrors people live through and then hide from all over again.

It is the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center's pleasure to recommend Mfoniso Udofia and their play "runboyrun" as a finalist for our 2015 National Playwrights Conference. The play rose through a competitive, anonymous, multileveled selection process that took nearly nine months to execute. As one of 59 finalists out of more than 1,300 submissions, it is the value of the page that has allowed this work to prosper in such a competitive selection process. Our readers responded to the powerful, poetic language and how the piece lives in both an intimate familial setting as well as a larger global conversation.

Downright brilliant. Mfoniso's voice is sweeping, poetic, electric and daring. Language is out of this world. And this epic story is wrenching and illuminating. I'm a true fan.
