"Fitting what the late, great Ntozake Shange called a choreopoem, the show's virtuosity lies in its interlocking forms... Poetry fans will devour the rich language, wordplay, and themes. The show serves up concepts of tradition, expectation, familial obligation, and etiquette, wrapped in motifs of animalistic claws, jaws, and teeth, vying for success."
