    “ I love this play, heartbreaking but mostly a story about love, genuine, honest love. And love that needed some healing. This is perhaps my favorite piece I've read on NPX to date. ”

    “ To fall in love with Jennifer Lane's work, read this. It's a brutal, funny, heartbreaking, and thrilling play. Two meaty, complex roles for actors to dig into. ”

    “ Vibrant, quirky, heartbreakingly vulnerable, and deliciously honest, TO FALL IN LOVE WITH ANYONE DO THIS is an intimate examination of love, loss, and acceptance. Jennifer Lane walks a very thin line eloquently, balancing her characters’ needs, wants, secrets, and admissions with perfect poise. A delightful read and I’m dying to see this staged! #PlaywrightPlug ”
