BWW Review: MY CHILDREN, MY AFRICA at Washington Stage Guild
by Timothy Treanor - November 15, 2021

This show was absolutely immaculate and there is nothing that can compare to it. I could honestly continue to go on and list every detail I noticed and analyzed, but that would be a very long read for you.
