Homecookin':

Five Plays

by Clay Goss

 

In Homecookin’: Five Plays by Clay Goss, each of the selections start with a problem.  A man or a woman trying to reach their souls.  Black folks trying to somehow transcend their past experiences, their limited environments.  Attempting to reach that juncture of their lives where they will be, or can be, self-actualizing persons able to achieve or love at will.  Happy with themselves for whom they have found themselves to be.  Individuals not only ready but prepared for a change in their lives—indeed, for a better life and time.

Once in a while, a new artist with special sensibilities emerges.  Clay Goss…is such an artist.”—Encore

“Ever watch and hear a subway drunk babble late at night, as the car sways and clatters away?  That’s the impact of Mr. Goss’s Homecookin’—sad, funny, underscored with volcanic truth….It is also a nightmare of racial anguish, couched in rockbound truths, and the effect is extraordinary.”Howard Thompson, New York Times
