‘True Mummy’ is a compelling drama, which presents provocative ideas and poses difficult questions connected to issues of life and death, morality and art, ritual versus utilitarianism, and the “opposing concepts of creation and desecration.” ‘True Mummy’ refers to a black, luminous, clear glaze, the “best shellac in the history of art,” that was made from the ash of cremated mummies. What is sacred today-anything? Is any degree of desecration justified in the pursuit of truth and thecreation of art? These are only a few of the questions posed in this provocative drama.

“Cone’s plays present a remarkable talent for layering history, visual art, philosophy and contemporary social issues to produce works that must be consumed with care, given the complexity of their ingredients.”- The Rain Review Of Books
