"Absolutely Superb... A must see and should be seen internationally!!!" - Jean Parnell, WHCR 90.3 FM
"Great... Ishmael throwing truth with piercing daggers"
- Ron Scott, Amsterdam News E
" Loved the play reading...so funny... enjoyed every minute of it. The cast is remarkable. Bravo!" - Mary T. Brown
"I really enjoyed watching Ishmael's latest play on Saturday night. Another tour de force to be sure! I liked how it mixed the essayistic with the dramatic -- the campy B-movie melodrama with anti-racist art history." - Lonely Christopher
"I just watched it on YouTube and it is great...I learned a lot about Basquiat.... a scathing critique of the racist "art" and entertainment world that exploits the art and the artists.... The music is superb.I love how this piece is so much about Ishmael Reed, as poet, writer, scholar, musician, playwright, thinker, historian, everything.
It is funny....And it is very moving.... directing was wonderful.It's exciting to just imagine what this will be like in production. I hope we can all travel by then so that we can all go see it in a theater".-
Yuri Kageyama, journalist, filmmaker
Ishmael Reed's "THE SLAVE WHO LOVED CAVIAR" directed by Rome Neal
