REVIEWS

The stories in The Glorious World of Crowns, Kinks and Curls are funny, sometimes sad but ultimately uplifting. Of course some of them reminded me of my own hair journey in the fashion industry. But most of all they reminded me that we all have a responsibility to work towards continuing to make standards of beauty more inclusive ~ Beverly Johnson, First African American woman to grace the cover of American Vogue

Twisted, curled, fried, picked and plaited, Black women have always had an adventurous and creative relationship with our hair. The Glorious World of Crowns, Kinks and Curls is a funny, heartbreaking and ultimately healing play about the role hair plays in unbraiding, shaping and celebrating our Black identity ~ Lynn Nottage

The Glorious World of Crowns, Kinks and Curls is not just a play about hair, but about identity and the quest for equality. As such, it is a play all should see and celebrate ~ Henry Louis Gates, Jr
