“ A disarmingly funny, sad/sharp autobiographical play about living with and through trauma. Written with passion and heart and genuine desire to create healing space." ”

“ Powerful, truthful, heartfelt piece about the persistent microaggressions at play in a private Quaker school where there are only two Black teachers. Tackling systemic racism head-on, Malakhow writes with accuracy, pain and maturity about the complex and unresolved spaces in which the US and its education system find themselves when it comes to true diversity, equity and inclusion. ”

“ A very dark comedy about the darkness at the heart of white supremacy. Alternately grotesque and matter-of-fact in mode, this play about gasping, dysfunctional patriarchal white cis-het rule in an extended family peopled by Black, white, mixed race and LGBTQ folx is hurtling tragic-absurdist scream written with Arbery's wry, dry, volatile rage and clear-eyed ability to stare into the darkest of souls. Yes, it's a play about hate, and how hate is sustained by adoration. But it's also about living in a land that thrives on hate to assert its power. ”

“ Thoughtful, mischievous, and anguished dissection of minstrel show tropes and legacies of systemic racism and capitalism. Vivid language and imagery. Sustained attention to detail in a nearly forensic manner.
