Shakespearean in its world and language. This is an epic like we have yet to see on the stage, at least not in the way that we NEED to. Burke has given us a history lesson about the black and queer spaces that have been occupied for hundreds of years and the silence that has been imposed on them. The characters breathe, the world flutters, and by the end you’ll want the story to keep on going.

A sprawling epic that breaks new ground both mythic and theatrical while remaining firmly rooted to the earth that gives these characters so much vitality. Burke's poetic prose honors the play's grandeur yet manages to remain intimate, honest, and acrobatically alliterate. These plays deserve to be produced far and wide. Best of all, the show offers challenging but rewarding opportunities for every member of a production team; from creative to cast to crew.

Human, divine, and unapologetically queer, Suncatchers represents the dawn of a new era for theater.

The openly queer black world that Burke creates in Suncatchers is beautiful to behold. This is an epic tale of love, loss, and betrayal that imagines what could have been and also what still could be if we remove white-supremacist-patriarchal power from queer-black spaces. It's a gorgeous story with fabulous elevated text and poetic dialogue with twists and turns and lots of steamy love scenes! This is a world I want to live in!
