Crumbs from the Table of Joy and Other Plays [Nottage, Lynn] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Crumbs from the Table of Joy and Other Plays Review: Rich, rich writing! - What an amazing written Nottage is! I had only seen a staged reading of her play "Ruined" and couldn't wait to read more of her work. "Crumbs from the Table of Joy" brings together two unlikely worlds in 1950 and shows us sometimes in a raw way, sometimes with intelligent nuance and detail, how we are, after all, all part of one race: the Human race. Review: The Continuum - Lynn Nottage's work is a crucial contribution to American literature. She writes her plays with an intricacy, like a seamstress meticulously reweaving and tailoring an old wool suit for a new body. Referances to African American women playwrights who came before her, ie. Lorrainne Hansberry, Alice Childress, Adrienne Kennedy--are too easy. I think what Arthur Miller did for American theater, returning us to our backyards and digging up the soil to expose the roots, can easily be said of Nottage.
