“In the age of Don Imus, Michael Richards, and renewed scrutiny of hip-hop lyrics and shock-jock blabbermouths, ‘N*W*C,’ as it is called for short, examines the power of timeworn taboos, attempting to deflate them through a frontal, often funny, assault…” |

“Reminiscent of early Culture Clash or the comedy of Chris Rock…” |

“The buzz surrounding this show is largely well-deserved, thanks to supremely clever and nimble staging, and the infallible charm of NWC’s three leading men…” |

monologues in which the actors recount personal encounters
with racial typecasting…” |

just as aggravated because we've lived with these words all
our lives…” |
