Bellamy has been quoted regarding black Theater as saying: "There's a little pressure now to widen my work, with agents and artistic directors asking if I want to do Chekhov. I can, but I don't want to. There are only a few people who get chances to be where I am in my career. I want to use it for putting the lens on black people and showing them in all their beauty, their facets and warts. These are people who I care about and love and want to see in all their complexity on the stage."
