…you’re unlikely to see anything as emotionally searing onstage this season.
Village Voice
…rhyming, rapping and slipping into Jamaican accents without missing a beat… so strong and dynamic… green is a born playwright.
L Magazine
… [an] upsettingly funny family portrait… webs of alliance, jealousy, and betrayal suggest a tragedy of almost Grecian size without once having to declare it.
New York Magazine
Acted with fiery feeling by a superb cast… directed with incisive clarity by Leah C. Gardiner… this intense, stylized drama hits you like a triple shot of espresso… excited by the play’s formal invention, moved by its coiled emotional power.
The New York Times
It’s essential and stunning theater. [Born Bad] rings with the clarion force of the trumpet calls that brought down the walls of Jericho.
