“The dramatically compelling argument spins off sparks about stem cell research,
race and the Human Genome Project. But the gripping heart of Cassandra Medley's
RELATIVITY is a showdown between relatives in a battle of the umbilical cord….
RELATIVITY is a full-fledged drama bristling with challenging ideas
and emotional complexity.
It's a brave play. Not only has Medley set her drama, as one
character puts it, `on the cut of the cutting edge’ of research, but she's also
grappling with the very touchy subject of reverse racism….
The mother-daughter bond is so tight, and so beautifully detailed in the
writing….
…In Medley's RELATIVITY, passionate mass and intellectual energy
equals pretty compelling drama.”
Robert Hurwitt,
San Francisco Chronicle
“RELATIVITY…offers dandy
fringe benefits to go along with the heady science: …two especially dazzling
scenes.
…the play is so entertaining….
