"Set in a black boardinghouse in Pittsburgh in 1911, this play tells the varied story of blacks at the start of the great migration and self-identification. Touching on heavy topics like life, death and resurrection this short but poignant play goes beyond he traditional black/white story following the civil war into something more personal yet universal.
A really wonderful play and I'm sorry I did not see it when it was in NYC."
"An excellent play that I read in literature class back my freshman year of high school. Lucky us being in Ashland, Oregon where the Oregon Shakespeare festival was putting this on, so we got to read it than see it. At a boarding house, a collection of characters reside, chiefly a man who was once caught by Joe Turner's mercenary gang who caught newly freed slaves and forced them back into labor (he's looking for his daughter) and Bynum, the magical old man who helps people come together. Sure, that can be a little hokey, but when you actually see the play, it completely works."
