Press Quotes
“Aishah Rahman has written an original, engrossing, at times quite beautiful and moving [play].” —Alvin Klein, The New York Times
“Like some mythological monster, it’s got the head of a tragedy, the torso of a comedy, and the wings of a fantasy … it’s a very amusing beast … a strange and often hilarious study of the ways that people cope with the aftermath of tragedy … All of them are looking for a magic charm, a mojo — ‘something that will never fail to pull you through the hard times.’ THE MOJO AND THE SAYSO represents the triumph of Rahman’s fertile comic imagination …” —Jim Beckerman, News Tribune
