  • Lizz Mangan: ICONS by Xavier Clark
    “

    Poetic, introspective, ICONIC! Clark's grasp of language is breathtaking, and the disassembly of what makes an icon explores self love and self doubt, with the curiosity of what our legacy leaves behind. Gorgeous.

    What makes an icon? What cements a legacy? What is the past? What is destiny? What is the place of love for someone with ambition? What does it mean to long for a shining city in the distance? Xavier Clark's ICONS brims with these questions as an interview between an Icon and a Pulitzer winner becomes a fantastic exploration of the cosmos and the ultimate power of Queer Black Love's potential to change the world.

    "You can’t put a price tag on a person’s life."

    An excellent play about legacy and art. A piece of work that is full of surprises and goes to some wonderfully bizarre places. This play has some killer monologues for Black actors.

    ICONS is a poetic revelation of a play. An argument for rest, for resilience and for peace in the pursuit of "excellence." The lyricism of Clark's writing shines in every syllable. I saw this read aloud to a sold out crowd and there wasn't a dry eye in the room. I can't recommend this play highly enough!
