    “ Lindsay has a talent for creating new worlds in just a few words that take you on unique adventures. Here, Billy and Nora are climbing two rope ladders, but why, where from, and where are they trying to get up to?
    This would make a great performance piece, especially if the set allows for two such ladders to be used.
    This will leave the audience hanging for sure! ”

    “ An adventure that will have you climbing with Billy and Nora as they discover what's above! Will we come back down to safety? ”

    “ Brilliant in its succinctness and breathtaking in its physicality, this play by Partain is a masterclass in what you can do with just a few pages. A complete world, inviting and scary, with boundless possibilities for a creative team. ”

    “ A short scene that leaves so much up for interpretation and provides an excitement sandbox to play in for ambitious directors and designers especially. ”

    “ LINDSAY PARTAIN’s “All the Way Down” is a gem of a short play. We, as humans, want to explore, discover and learn. We often overlook, or at least downplay, the possible harmful outcomes. But, in many cases, we succeed and find out something fantastic. We need to move-forward, or ‘go up’, to try to find that ‘thing’ we never knew, but we might end up ‘falling’ or failing. It’s something we do - and our civilization has benefited more times than not. ”

    “ ALL THE WAY DOWN is a whimsical take on our continual need to explore the unknown. This play has you hanging with Nora and Billy as they keep reaching up to the unknown. Great for imaginative staging and great parts of physical actors. Lindsay Partain takes an old legend to know heights! ”

    “ This play had me dangling and climbing the rope ladder with the characters. Ahhh! A fun take on the classic myth. This would be a fun and challenging play for beginning actors and directors to explore, if they had a rope ladder. This play shows that Partain excels at the short short play with unexpected use of space, physicality, tension, and quick character development to create an amusing spectacle.

    “ A really interesting piece that gives new life to a very ancient legend. This is one of those plays that you have to read to really understand, as a review can easily give away what's in store for any prospective reader. Suffice it to say, Lindsay Partain is very talented in the way she's able to distill and bring a play to its very essence and core. She accomplishes that here in wonderful fashion. I can't wait to read even more of her work from here on out. ”

    “ Ahhhh! I love this short play. I don't want to -spoil- it for anyone, but Partain tackles one of my favorite mythologies in an utterly unique, exciting, mind-bending way. I feel terrified and exhilarated along with Nora and Billy as they try to climb their way to.... what? Super fun. ”
