“[The Convert is] intense, harrowing and flatteringly demanding. Gurira refuses to condescend to her audience, either in her storytelling—entire scenes are performed in the Shona dialect—or in her moral position, offering no clear-cut villains or heroes.” —Los Angeles Times

"A surprisingly vivacious portrait of helplessness, of the entirely human impulse to adapt . . . conveyed with a lovely authority, at times even a whimsicality. [In this] authentic-feeling production, [Danai Gurira's] tight-knit kinship with these characters comes across as if she shared the stage with them." —The Washington Post [on Eclipsed]

“ . . . a kaleidoscopic portrait of two black women—one a middle-class wife and mother in Zimbabwe, the other a 19-year-old at loose ends in Los Angeles—whose lives are suddenly upended by H.I.V. diagnoses. Moving, spirited and surprisingly funny, the play is anything but bleak, as its subject matter might seem to imply . . . In the Continuum humanizes the painful stories it has to tell with such emotional vibrancy that the play leaves behind a warm afterglow, of human struggles explored, illumined and embraced.” —Charles Isherwood, The New York Times
