Thank you Culture Clash! Really interesting ideas presented here, for example comparing the similarities of the Native American tribes of North America with the tribes of Afghanistan. I always enjoy these guys, and it was a treat to see Russell Means, the iconic activist, acting on stage. Definitely enjoyable, but I have to say I had a bit more fun at their last two productions. Some odd casting in this one.

Wonderful writing! This playwright has grown in terms of subtexts and nuance,while still maintaining a zany sense of humor in portraying a very dark subject. Bravo!

Great show by a wonderful group: Culture Clash.
Took me a few minutes to get into the atmosphere of the show, and once I did, I was enjoying it very much. Loved the positive and inclusive all around feeling of this show.

Oy, abroch, m'hijo! Montoya and Culture Clash do it again. Thought-provoking juxtaposition of cultural similarities and differences made me choke up and then snort, snicker and guffaw within the next fifteen seconds...
