Review
There's no doubt McNab has a fascinating story to tell..... This battle of ideals and ambition is where the play takes flight, as McNab provocatively parallels America's treatment of its black athletes, Jesse Owens included, with racism under the Third Reich. (The Guardian)
...poses an intriguing question: knowing what it did about the treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany, should America... have woken up to its responsibilities sooner, and might a boycott of the games have prevented the Holocaust? (The Telegraph)
