Lonnie Carter's GULLIVeR TRILOGY screams and laughs like the irreverent love-child of Jonathan Swift, Joan of arc and George Clinton. the wild maze of Carter's satiric language propels you on a wondrous journey into the confusion of dark hatreds and heavenly aspirations swirling in America's heart. as one who gleefully follows Mr Carter's travels my only advice is, enjoy the trip!

Lemuel
Synopsis:
In his language-drunk play LeMUeL, Lonnie Carter has drawn on everything from the spiralling patter of modernist writers Gertrude Stein and James Joyce, to the embroidered exhortations of Jesse Jackson, to the infectious rhythms of rap, hip-hop and funk. . .. LeMUeL is dazzling chamber theatre. Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times "If one man's story can speak for his time, then Lonnie Carter's LeMUeL sings it in jumping jive talk, ragged rhythms, choral chanting, hip-hop tongue twisters and the rolling thunder of a civil rights sermon." Lawrence Bommer, Chicago Reader
