Dontrell, Who Kissed The Sea Reviews

"...Because ultimately what makes "Dontrell" soar is Davis' uniquely lyrical script, and its thematic veracity and original authorial voice floats us past fleeting new-play issues."
Broadway World- Recommended
"...Gregory Wallace directs with a firm, smooth flow drawing full three -dimensional performances from his talented cast. The 90 minutes go by in a flash."

"..."Be prepared to be amazed by what's around you." That line, from Nathan Alan Davis's Dontrell, Who Kissed the Sea, should serve as a benevolent warning to the audience entering the Skylight Theatre. This fable about a young Black man's search for an ancestor who leapt off a slave ship as it crossed the Atlantic weaves storytelling, music, dance, and ritual into a fantastical tapestry: imaginatively conceived and written, spectacularly staged and designed, and acted with ferocious commitment, the result is thrilling."
