The Lynching: What They Wouldn't Let Jackie Walker Tell You

Reception

In The Guardian, Alexei Sayle wrote: "Jackie possesses a lovely singing voice and the honed acting skills of a veteran performer, plus the tragic story of her Jewish civil rights campaigner father and her black Jamaican mother, who was wrongly confined to a mental institution in the US, is worth a show in itself. Jackie is also very funny and frank about her own bolshy nature." Linguist and philosopher Noam Chomsky said: "I wholeheartedly support the right of anyone to criticise Israel without being branded antisemitic. That goes in particular for Jackie Walker".

Meanwhile, Lee Levitt of The Jewish Chronicle described one performance as "greeted by cheers and a standing ovation". In the Morning Star Bernadette Hyland described it as "a story which Walker brings to life using song and readings" and "a shocking and sorrowful narrative as we follow her mother and siblings from the US to Jamaica and finally to Britain".

The Camden New Journal had the following to say: "Billed as a story of black struggle, racism and Jeremy Corbyn, it mixes politics, humour, drama and song, The Lynching invites the audience-as-jury to hear Jackie’s mother defend her daughter." In The News Ben Fishwick wrote, "Ms Walker's show, The Lynching, sees the audience act as a jury while her mother 'comes to life' defending her actions;", while John Gulliver of The Islington Tribune "found it absorbing and revealing".
