Monumental Travesties Reviews

Washington Post- Recommended

"...What says ally-ship quite like a White man with Black Lives Matter emblazoned on his tighty whities? It's a question you've probably never thought of asking. But playwright Psalmayene 24 nevertheless seeks to answer it - er, cheekily - in "Monumental Travesties," the entertainingly transgressive comedy getting a world premiere by D.C.'s Mosaic Theater Company."

DC Theater Arts- Highly Recommended

"...The world-premiere play is delivered with a punch by Louis E. Davis, Jonathan Feuer, and Renee Elizabeth Wilson, standout stars who at times left their majority white spectators visibly squirming."

MD Theatre Guide- Highly Recommended

"...For many years, it has stood and been the flashpoint for controversy (and the subject legislation from D.C. Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton to remove it). It depicts a Black man kneeling before Lincoln, whose hand is extended, as if the former president has bestowed the gift of freedom in an extraordinary act of (critics say) White power."
