Reviews

An entertaining, first-rate solo performance . . . humorous, a little touching, and an acting tour-de force. -AOL Engaging and charismatic. . . . The audience was clearly with him as he critiqued the death penalty, mega-mergers and mass media. You wouldn't imagine that social criticism could make for lively theater, but Zinn's text and Jones's acting deftly blended the political with the personal. -Washington Post
