"...Playwright Williams does a terrific job of providing a peek at this moment in history through the experiences of these fictionalized Black characters as well as imagining the perspective of McDaniel herself. Producing Artistic Director Weylin Symes discovered the script, and Director Taavon Gamble puts us in that glamorous and yet deeply flawed era of Hollywood, so appropriately sited in Greater Boston Stage Company's historic movie theater."
