The play was sad and funny at times and the fight scenes were great. The cast did a fantastic job. Everyone was absolutely amazing and even though it was a very long play it didn't feel that long. I was sucked into the story and felt connected to the characters. I highly recommend going to see this show.

My companion liked it a lot. We were both somewhat uncomfortable with the violence, the gun shots, etc. But the review had disclosed that and in fact, the violence is a valid portrayal of the treatment Ishi's tribe received at the hands of the white settlers. Just maybe there could have been a little less "shock".

Play was well acted and the politics behind Ishi's residence at the UC Museum, and his exploitation by the scientists, were most interesting. A very different picture than the Theodora Kroeber book that we were required to read in school.
