Row After Row presented by The Comrades at Apollo Theater

Chicago Reader - Highly Recommended

"...Over an hour of semicontrived arguments and perplexing flashbacks, Dickey tries to turn the Civil War into a metaphor for all manner of societal inequities and personal crises. Against tall odds, this ardent Comrades cast (under Ann Kreitman’s forthright direction) manages to make all but the most overwrought passages (including the untenable happyish ending) intellectually and emotionally compelling."

Picture This Post - Highly Recommended

"...The Comrades’ production of Jessica Dickey’s play is a portrayal – part farce, part history, part open heart surgery – of two veteran Civil War re-enactors whose annual commemoration of the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg is “intruded” upon by a newcomer. This amateur, in a not-so-authentic Confederate uniform and all-too-authentic skin color of former slaves, possesses quite the accurate philosophy of history as well as a lens by which to view the present."
