She'll Find Her Way Home - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Like August Wilson's scenes of blacks at home and at leisure, these moments have the natural, artless flow of life itself. And below the easygoing horseplay, the historical context creates an undertow of suspense, for these are the lonely advance scouts on a perilous journey from slavery into an alien white world.” Dan Hulbert, Theater Critic, The Atlanta Journal and Constitution, February 6, 1991. “Jomandi Productions’ “She’ll Find Her Way Home” Hits Home… Anderson fingers something vitally important that all too often gets overlooked, pushed aside, --benignly censored from African American theater. Hats off to her for writing a love story about how an African American man and woman are able to work through difficulties, and learn to trust each other.” Angela E. Chamblee, Theater Review, The Atlanta Voice, February 16, 1991. In “She’ll Find Her Way Home,” the new drama by Atlanta’s Valetta Anderson set in 1870 Mississippi, the free daughter of a slave is passing knowledge on to her own, free daughter. “I’m your mama – I hold your hand,” Elizabeth Omilami says to Crystal Fox in the Jomandi production. “All our mamas hold their daughters’ hands. We are the river…” That lovely image describes a theater trend: History is now the rage among black playwrights” Dan Hulbert, Theater Critic, The Atlanta Journal and Constitution, February 17, 1991. “Good show in ‘Home’… Playwright Valetta Anderson’s She’ll Find Her Way Home, which played a performance at the Strand Theatre Friday night, proved a good study of a young girl’s rites of passage in rediscovering her heritage… She’ll Find Her Way Home is a play of revelations and, on that level, succeeds nicely.” Lane Crockett, Reviews, The Times, Shreveport, Louisiana, February 20, 1993. “Drama on black family is fascinating… Blacks don’t like the Montgomeries because of their wealth, whites dislike them because they are black… the audience seems to have no choice but to stand up and cheer.” Frank Roberts, Staff Writer, The Virginian-Pilot and The Ledger-Star, February 25, 1993.
