“ This writer has a clear sense of stagecraft and a rock-solid grasp of dramatic writing. The rhythm and cadence of the dialogue is beautiful and poetic, without becoming overly stylized...as is her ear for the nuances of the African-American Southern dialect and culture which is pitch-perfect, and adds authenticity to the storytelling. There is a palpable sense that the writer needs to tell this particular tale and a keen sense of urgency. This is clearly a writer worth investing in, and a perusal of "Battle Cry" is well worth your time. ”

“ This play has a tricky rhythm all of its own and has style in abundance. We are not accustomed to seeing women thrust into these kinds of roles and situations in the typical drama, and it is refreshing. Some of her dialogue is so blazing and brilliant it is as if it were neon spray-paint on a white wall. The writer demonstrates an affinity for the harsh, cold sense of humor that this particular culture is known for and has a grasp on the cultural and political situation of the particular time and place of the play. Highly recommended. ”
