“ 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! ”

“ Sibling rivalry is about to come to a boil at the onset of this finely crafted 10-minute play. But the Boxer, perfectly capable of obliterating his opponent, chooses altruism and love instead. Gonzalez displays a strong command of the world of pugilism, and his imagery works beautifully here: shadow boxing… references to living in another’s shadow… His Champ resolves to kill with kindness, and forego what might be an easy victory to otherwise give room. Elegantly pointed contrasts between the crudity of physical violence, and the mercy of a brother’s love. A knockout. ”

“ A (mostly) monologue that moves like a butterfly and stings like only family can. A beautiful tribute to brotherhood that transports you into the middle of an exhilarating heavyweight fight only to knock you out with pure tenderness. The toughness of the character makes his sincerity all the more touching. Highly recommend. ”

“ This play is brutal, it is touching, disarming-- stunning. Gonzalez really cuts to the heart and the strength of a brother's love in LETTER TO MY BROTHER. A monologue that throws you into the ring and delivers jabs right to the feels. Gorgeous work. ”
