“Sweet Dark Rum is an Erotica so delicious; it left a sticky sweet taste on my literary palate. I became so immersed in the story, I felt as if I was participating in the sensual shenanigans. Sweet Dark Rum will leave you both satiated and thirsty at the same damn time. Yes, please!”

"Absolutely riveting...If Cheril Clarke never writes another play, (though I hope she writes many more) this one effort will ensure her a place in theater history."

"ASYLUM is fearless. The play is not afraid of its sexuality; not afraid to make bold statements about a male-dominated society in Uganda...not afraid to stand up for what is right. It is honest and earnest. ASYLUM is unapologetic and incredibly human. It is the loud shout of an artist that we need to address a massive injustice happening in our world, in our own time."
