Reviews

“INSURRECTION's just hilariously unafraid to go practically wherever it wants to go: it's a rocketing, pin-wheeling, spark-shooting bundle of pyrotechnics. If any show's an early shoo-in for a nomination in the Helen Hayes Awards' new best-ensemble category, this is it.” – City Paper

“Wild and raucous...Playwright Robert O'Hara is just nervy enough to find the fun, irreverent side of slavery. Theater Alliance's rambunctious production, equal parts impudent and intense, is under the incisive direction of Timothy Douglas and features uninhibited performances by a talented cast.”
– Jayne Blanchard, Washington Blade

“The play is perfectly cast with actors giving full throttle performances holding nothing back...The script stands like that lone protestor in front of the moving tanks in Tiananmen Square—when the tank veered to one side or the other, the protestor stepped out in front of it. INSURRECTION is like that—holding hundreds of years of history in front of massive tanks of denial, daring to be seen and heard, and willing to pay the price, no matter what the cost.”
