How you blend politics into your everyday—that’s what gives life to all your writing for me….’a good word for you:’ combat mode’. Words attack the page and explode off it!””--Bob Holman interviewing Ishmael Reed about THE CONDUCTOR in The Brooklyn Rail "The tight-knit cast, like a swinging jazz ensemble...is compelling in one of this year’s most realistic plays, on or off Broadway."--Ron Scott, Amsterdam News
