Sunset Baby Reviews
Washington Post- Recommended
"...It’s plenty to build a play on, but this one is from Dominique Morisseau, lyrical chronicler of hard modern realities, so there’s plenty more: Kenyatta (DeJeanette Horne) was jailed decades earlier for an armored-car heist, a crime he’ll describe as largely political, part of the Black Power revolution that he and Nina’s mother were faithful soldiers in before he got sent away and she spiraled into addiction."
DC Theater Arts- Recommended
"...The story of a Black political prisoner who tries to reconcile with his family makes for a compelling hook. The themes of family, revolution, grief, trauma, and perhaps reconciliation will no doubt pique the curiosity of many. The re-emergence of Sunset Baby by playwright Dominique Morisseau to new audiences may feel timely given the political landscape. This production is only a hop-and-skip over at Anacostia Playhouse."
MD Theatre Guide- Highly Recommended
"...“Sunset Baby” is, in many ways, a deceptively simple play—simple inasmuch as it is a three-hander without a lot of smoke and mirrors. This masterful production comes with the visceral gut punches the trio of actors deliver, scene after scene."
