    “ Deeply moving piece with stunning heightened language. A meditation on freedom for Black women of all walks of life, which is a near impossible task but I gotta say this comes pretty close to pulling it off. ”

    “ This play is gorgeous and tender and painful and beautiful. I saw a reading of it at the O'Neill's National Playwrights Conference and I've been craving a fully-realized production ever since. a.k.'s way of dramatizing love and tenderness and revolution between the people in this play is a thing of beauty and revelation. I think I'll be thinking about this play for a long, long time. I can't wait to see it produced. ”

    “ It begins with several intimate, two-person interactions that steadily reveal a larger, complicated web of a community and its factions...who are we loyal to? The action of the play never lets up snowballing into some of the most stunning and gripping scenes I've ever encountered. The consensus scene: brilliant (& I've never seen anything like it). The scene about the definition of love: sublime. I am in awe of this play. ”

    “ I had the absolute joy of reading this play and thrilled it was selected as the winner of the Student Jane Chambers Playwriting Competition. This play exemplifies all of the goals of this competition and rises head and shoulders above the rest in style, form, and story. While it is inspired by Julius Caesar, Love I Awethu Further is revolutionary in its showcasing of black love (physical and emotional) and its poetic structure. Produce this script immediately! ”
