    A beautiful and eye opening journey towards oneself and their family as one searches to belong. Well done.

    Heartbreaking and beautiful. June Is The First Fall paints a portrait that reveals itself piece by piece; drawing you closer with each revelation. Wonderfully crafted and tender in its treatment, not to be missed.

    I loved the simple beauty of this piece. Don is a compelling character who goes through a nuanced journey of coming to terms with family-related grief and guilt, as well as a desire to reconnect with distant family. Through Don's humorous and haunting mother and Don's funny and well-observed interactions between him and his other family members (and Scott), Liu paints the portrait of a young person grappling with who they are in relation to their family. A few gorgeous theatrical moments and specters from the past take the story to a whole other sublime, beautifully theatrical level.

    A beautiful piece with such natural dialogue! It was a great read and a very unique play that feels very organic. The characters were likable and intriguing in their own ways. Liu explores relationships within a family and, specifically, fathers and sons.
