NEW YORK TIMES – “Ms. Camblin wears on her playwright’s sleeve her knowledge of black history, her appreciation for the female African-American artists who preceded her, and her passion to follow in their footsteps. Now that she’s written the play about finding her muse, one hopes she has the confidence to follow it. Ms. Camblin… has talent to spare.”
VARIETY – “Camblin’s witty writing is incisive and expansive. She speaks knowingly of her subjects, celebrating the joy, pride and humor of the black experience.”
A comedy tour-de-force for two actors portraying a variety of eccentric characters in a beauty shop, highlighting the many intricacies of black women and the importance placed on their hair: From bushy afros to relaxed looks to not so natural colors "And Her Hair Went With Her" covers a wild range of styles and trends with black women's do's. A celebration of the sisterhood of the salon!
