I really enjoy how intimate this performance was.  I enjoyed how James Ijames found different speech patterns and mannerisms for each of the characters he portrayed.  I liked how he used props and movements to tell us who he was being.  Other one man shows that I have seen had been long ranting monologues like Mike Daisy or had been driven by exciting psychical stunts like humor abuse, but this play really focused on the life and people who were influential to James Baldwin.  I could really tell that this was a special project for Ijames.  The most important thing I took away from this performance was that had learned something about an author I previously knew nothing about.
