"The survival of a rural Virginia black family of five, of which both parents and one of two sons are seriously mentally retarded, in the face of efforts by a misguided social worker and her agency to make them wards of the state, is the story of A LIFE LIKE THE REST, Kevin Arkadie's play ...

Mr Arkadie's talent for creating dramatic characters whose wit and good humor amuse one without diminishing the peril of their situation." -D J R Bruckner, The New York Times
