"Idris Goodwin's play And in This Corner: Cassius Clay is an insightful portrayal of the early days of the young man who would later become Muhammad Ali and also an informative depiction of the racial issues that segregation caused at that time. It's a moving piece that won the 2017 Distinguished New Play Award from the American Alliance of Theater and Education and makes its local debut in an excellent co-production from Childsplay and Black Theatre Troupe that features a sensational performance by Rapheal Hamilton as Cassius Clay..." -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
"....With an accomplished cast of nine performers often playing several roles, the play runs approximately 60 minutes with no intermission. Goodwin’s script is a swift and streamlined account of those years with a style reminiscent of a child’s shortened classroom edition of a classic novel, say Treasure Island, edited for the 4th grade yet retaining all the important highlights that keep the essence of the lengthier original novel intact.." -David Appleford, Valley Screen and Stage (click here to read the complete review)
"...Goodwin infuses his work with rhyme, rhythm, and an astute awareness of the troubled times in which the future champ would define himself. It is, as well, a work that connects the events and behaviors of those times with today's ~ enough so, that, in the telling of the story, one may be drawn to drop some tears...." - Herbert Paine, Broadway World (click here to read the complete review)
