“This play shows the strength that come through adversity and the beauty of the human spirit.”
“Much of the play is hilarious and sometimes even “show-stopping”- other segments are so painful and riveting you forget you are witnessing a performance worthy of thunderous applause-but when the scene fades to black, you can only sit there stunned.”
“…Stay Black and Die won for Best Production at the Montreal Fringe Festival which provided for a remount at The Centaur Theatre. The play packed the house and left audience members fainting in the aisles with a gruelling abortion scene.”
