    A beautiful play. Tender, it hits the sweetest of notes. Highly recommend this wonderful piece for older actors -- audiences will walk away the better for having experienced it.

    I love that Len has carried a torch for Lottie for 70+ years. After all that time, he's still gonna take it slow. Dinner? Beautifully played, Len (and Donna).

    Spot on! No wonder it's had so many productions and won so many awards - this is wonderfully relatable in all the best ways. I love the ending. I love that Len remembers how everyone died. There's no sugar-coating here, and it makes for a poignant and truthful piece that will touch everyone in the audience. Kudos!

  • Kate Danley: You Haven't Changed A Bit

    I had the privilege of seeing a reading of this piece at the Drunken Owl in Seattle. It is a heartwarming, tender love letter that acknowledges the realities of missed time, while also providing a message of hope that it is never too late. It is a powerful two-hander for older actors (70+) and a total crowd pleaser. The audience reflexively broke out into a collective, "Aw!" at the end before the applause.

  • Rachael Carnes: You Haven't Changed A Bit

    A beautiful piece for an oft-neglected age group, this two-hander for older actors offers nuance and beauty, humor and warmth. It's a peek at the past and at the future, hopeful and poignant, lovely and touching. You'll see your grandparents, your parents, or maybe yourself, in this terrific play. Hoke's work here is just so perfect!

  • John Minigan: You Haven't Changed A Bit

    This is a clear, thoroughly engaging play that opens up its story to us just as it opens up possibilities to its characters, especially to Lottie. The two characters receive great gifts in this story--hope and the grace of a human connection. Hoke gives us the same gifts. A lovely, masterfully constructed gem.

    A highly original take on aging and loneliness. Likable characters, controlled pacing and a brilliant, emotional ending.

    What a beautiful beautiful play. Watching the characters seizing those lost moments makes me realise/ reminds me how lucky I am to be able to hold my moments tightly and preciously.

    What a beautiful and heartbreaking play. Funny actually and such a sweet sweet love story. It's two wonderful parts for older actors and that's a joy in itself. Thank you Hoke for writing this special valentine!
