A beautiful story of grief and the process of letting go that leaves it's mark on your heart. Moving and well done.

A breathtaking and haunting work of great skill, full of poetry and emotion. Would very much love to see this on stage.

Despite being way late to the recommendation game, I heartily endorse this sparse, soulful play. It's a moving, poetic work with great staging potential, a story filled with humanity and realness, and characters who will break your heart.

An incredibly theatrical play that does what only plays can do! This is a play about sisters and loss and family and grief and how we manage what we have to manage. There is a driving poetics at work here that thrills me on every page.

This is an absolutely beautiful piece - I was crying my eyes out by the time I was finished reading.

Very beautiful and poetic. Loved every minute of it reading it. I've become a huge fan of Charly Evon Simpson.

Jump by Charly Evon Simpson received a National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere. The partnering NNPN Member Theaters were Playmakers Repertory Theatre (Chapel Hill), Milagro & Confrontation Theatre (Portland), Shrewd Productions (Austin), and Actor's Express (Atlanta).

This play is gorgeous from beginning to end, it's no wonder it's being produced around the country. Simpson pulls you in immediately through her sparse and poetic dialogue, the rich relationships, and the deep character development. This is a play for sisters, for anyone who's ever lost someone, for people who walk on bridges, and for everyone who's considered what it'd be like to jump. I hope very much that it gets produced in a theater near me, I would love to see it fully staged.

Breathtaking and vibrant, JUMP cycles through death, life, paranoia, certainty, grief, joy, hope, and despair seamlessly. There is such a delicate balance of poetry, visual magic, sound, and humanity that makes each page a delight. It’s full of wonder, dreamlike, and mesmerizing. If you’re looking for a play that deals intimately with human connection then look no further. #PlaywrightPlug #PlaywrightSpotlight

An absolutely stunning play. I am in awe. It's beautiful and terrible and so incredibly human but there's magic and marvel and fear and anger and so many times I was in disbelief but other times I believed it so much that I couldn't bear it. Gorgeous. This play needs to be performed everywhere as soon as possible. It speaks so powerfully about death and loss and heartbreak and the twist, oh the twist, is so unlike anything I've ever read. This play will live in my heart for a long, long time. I cannot recommend it enough.
