"A powerful, thought-provoking, richly rewarding piece of theatre."
-What'sOnStage
"There's no doubt McNab has a fascinating story to tell... This battle of ideals and ambition is where the play takes flight, as McNab provocatively parallels America's treatment of its black athletes, Jesse Owens included, with racism under the Third Reich."
- The Guardian
