One of my favorite recent plays. It has energy, it has style, it shoots, it scores. Jones' examination of Black girlhood at the cusp of adulthood in the mid-90s rural South is brilliant. Years after I first encountered it, I still bring it up, "Have you read Flex? You got to read Flex."

This play is a joy to read on the page. Jones captures the energy and momentum of basketball with every line. It feels more necessary and more timely than ever; please read and please produce it!

Brilliant, beautiful examination of the lives of young black women who play basketball in their high school in rural Arkansas. The language is realistic and lyrical at the same time. Superb physical theatre as well, and since it's structured like a game, and the characters are so well drawn you can't help rooting for them. Even when they do things they regret. One of my favorite new plays this year.

This is such exciting theatre. I can't wait to see a play this physical performed on stage. It's not all about the spectacle of the game play though. The dialogue and character development is astonishing. This needs to be on the syllabus of high school theatre classes all over.
