    “ There are some plays you read that will leave you feeling torn between your emotions and Deeper is certainly one of them. I felt a lot like Morey who said he read it twice and the first time he smiled and the other time he cried. it's that good at pulling out both emotions and in the end, we all want to be like Andrew when it the end comes, just having someone we love close-by to ease that transition and to know we were at least loved a little during our time on earth!

    “ I read this twice. The first time I smiled. The second time I cried. DEEPER has the wonderful breezy banter that Jacquie Floyd-Priskorn does so well. But it’s also infused with a darkness, a feeling of uncertainty. The allusion to Hamlet and our sense of free will to change our life or end it will have a profound effect on audiences. But Jacquie also presents us with hope. That whatever path we choose, it’s better if we have someone to hold our hand along the way. A lovely play that I would want to see several times. ”

    “ "Deeper" is a fabulous piece where all the way through you think you know where the story is going and every time you are spun in a different direction. Jacquelyn has taken what is a dark moment for most people and laced it with humour complete with a touching moment about human connection. We always think about the influence people have on our lives but this brilliant piece makes you think about the influence people have over our deaths. Jacquelyn constructs two wonderfully unique characters and intertwines their stories in a wonderful and emotional way. ”
