Critic's Pick! "Enthrallingly thought-packed! In burrowing deep into what one character calls 'the worm hole' of how we talk - and think - about race, Ms. Parks isn't cutting anyone any slack. Herself included." - The New York Times

"Sharp, zingy and oozing a darkly witty energy... a propulsive drama with pace, plotting and a deadly magnetism." - The Guardian

"The brilliance of Suzan-Lori Parks's eviscerating new play White Noise is that underneath the fi nely crafted, often sharply funny apparent realism of its surface, its roots stretch deep away into archetype." - Vulture

"Scalding... the tension [Parks] builds as she unfolds her arguments has you leaning forward in your seat... The play never stops working as fierce, gripping drama." - WhatsOnStage

"Shocking, funny, challenging... a sprawling, expressionist work." - Evening Standard
