    “ 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 ”

    “ "Y" produce this play? Small, nuanced moments, carefully crafted, character-centered storytelling. I was definitely along for the emotional ride with Wyatt and Merryn as they navigate a way forward through their grief. ”

    “ This play blew me away. Lane has made every emotion in this piece immediate: the humor, the fury, the mourning. An intimate dissection of a floundering marriage, and a gentle exploration of grief. These characters would be a joyful challenge for an actor and actress -- Merryn and Wyatt are deep, complicated, and intense. The final moments took my breath away. ”

    “ This is a lovely, moving play. The way the play unfolds makes us not only curious about how it will end, but also curious about the answers to the questions the characters ask each other. The list of questions is a powerful engine. ”

    “ A beautiful exploration of the different ways men and women connect and grieve. So intimate, moving, and masterfully paced. ”

    “ We had the opportunity to work on a scene from this in our Contemporary Scene Study class at the University of the Arts. It was a good challenge as an actor to find dynamic blocking in the setting of sitting together in a restaurant. Thank you for the material and I look forward to reading more of Jennifer Lane in the future! ”
