"Alexander's dialogue is rhythmic and often lyrical, his characters rounded...a fine play, with some echoes of August Wilson."
               Gwen Orel—Backstage

"Exceptional writing...Alexander manages to weave his characters together in a way that will simply astound you."
                                 Linda Armstrong-Amsterdam News


"The material is interesting. The performances are good. The sets are simple and effective...Birthright shows great promise from Alexander."
                             Carey Purcell—Theatre Source


"Birthright is a startlingly realistic story...the sound of endless rain serves as an effective counterpoint to Birthright's central conflict: the difficulty of rebuilding a family when hardships keep multiplying."
                                 Robyn Hillman-Harrigan—Flavorpill.com
