How Blood Go Reviews

Chicago Reader - Recommended

"...Ultimately, the play outlines some of the social roots of Black communities’ lack of confidence in the medical system and their preference for homeopathic remedies. This is particularly understandable given the racist treatment that continues today. This phenomenon is outlined tragically in documentaries like Aftershock, which examines the racial disparities in maternal death at childbirth. As the play jumps between timelines, we discover that both Bean and Ace’s hopes for the future are yoked to obtaining “a stone”—a headstone so as to not perish in an unmarked grave—to leave a legacy of existence, to pass a message to the next generation."

Let's Play Theatrical Reviews - Highly Recommended

"...There are a lot of uncomfortable truths in the play, with several people in the audience being shocked and appalled, but when has the darkness of injustice ever been comfortable? Unfortunately, some of our darkest historical events have been removed and conspicuously never added to remain comfortable. Plays like How Blood Go are needed to remind us that we all bleed the same."

"...Congo Square Theatre Company shows why they are one of the most respected African American theatre companies. Creating and producing new works isn’t easy and they do an excellent job of it."
