Raves for The Death of the Last Black Man in the Whole Entire World

The inimitable genius of Suzan-Lori Parks is on display in a remarkably ambitious Cutting Ball Theater production, smartly staged by Artistic Director Rob Melrose at Exit on Taylor.
-SF Chronicle

Unmaking and remaking history is at the core of Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks's elliptical narrative collage The Death of the Last Black Man in the Whole Entire World, now playing in a remarkable production by San Francisco's Cutting Ball Theater.
-SF Bay Guardian

Melrose's poetic production rescues Parks' most precious play from the confines of the ivory tower and puts it where it belongs — do drop be dripted, dammit — on stage... The Cutting Ball Theater shouts its motto, "Risk Is This," more loudly than ever before.
-SF Weekly

There's a lot to admire in director Rob Melrose's strong production, from Liliana Duque Pineiro's handsome wood-plank set to Melrose's sharp lighting design.
-Oakland Tribune
