What the press had to say.....

"A no-frills documentary in the first person, essentially an opportunity to watch a movie star deliver a history lecture. But since Mr. Fishburne is an effortlessly compelling actor, and the history in question is charged with a moral urgency that still resonates today, “Thurgood” is surprisingly absorbing, at times even stirring."
Charles Isherwood
New York Times

"Doesn't break a lot of new ground, but it is a worthwhile story rich in history, humanity and humor. "
Joe Dziemianowicz
New York Daily News

"While it's undoubtedly a triumph for Fishburne, there is only one character, one tone, and neither tension nor climax."
Clive Barnes
New York Post

"More enlightening than entertaining, "Thurgood" is a worthy reminder of how one determined person, working with others, can help to change the world."
Michael Sommers
Star-Ledger

"The performance is unmodulated and the production is bland to the point of ennui. "Thurgood" commands Fishburne's attention a lot more effectively than it did mine. "
Jeremy Gerard
Bloomberg

"Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall has met his match in actor Laurence Fishburne, who brings him vibrantly to life."
Jacques LeSourd
The Journal News

"It's engaging, informative, amusing and inspiring."
Robert Feldberg
The Record

"A one-man show that is part biography, part history lesson and part inspirational sermon. Fishburne has the theatrical, larger-than-life demeanour of an old-fashioned preacher, including the necessary pizazz to keep an audience's attention for an intermissionless 90 minutes."
Michael Kuchwara
Associated Press

"Laurence Fishburne delivers a superb turn as the famed Supreme Court justice in this somewhat dry solo biodrama."
Frank Scheck
Hollywood Reporter

"A few minutes into "Thurgood" and he's got the audience eating right out of his hand. While that image may serve to describe the star power of Laurence Fishburne, it applies just as well to the late Thurgood Marshall, the subject of this one-man show "
