Review Quotes: "A deeply moving portrait of Esther, a middle-aged African-American woman... Nottage's play has a delicacy and eloquence." - New York Daily News
"Thoughtful, affecting... the play offers poignant commentary on an era when the cut and color of one's dress - and of course, skin - determined whom one could and could not marry, sleep with, even talk to in public." - Variety
