This boxer is tough. He is skilled, he is methodical, and he is a champion. But as an older brother, he is full of caring, love, and nostalgia. These are not contradictions in Franky Gonzalez's play. They are the complex tapestry that make the events that the boxer is about to face one of the hardest nights of his life. And we are invited in to the most private moments before the public showdown in LETTERS TO MY BROTHER.

It is a powerful short play, with an amazing monologue for an actor to dive into.

An incredibly powerful story of sibling rivalry and loyalty with the love that overrides any pressure or public demand. Well done.

Aw, man!!! Gonzalez takes a great “what if?” and performs a miracle: a epistolary monologue that tells the lifelong story two brothers while imagining an impending title fight, somehow making it all unfold with the intensity and emotion of a 15-round championship match. He expertly weaves the past and the future into the now, when the stakes, physical and emotional, could not be higher. Then, at the apex of a hypothetical altercation, he hits the audience where we live. I cried like I’d been gut-punched. Give Gonzalez the championship belt and raise his hand in glory!
