←Recommendations of Moonlight Over L.A.

Ken Love’s MOONLIGHT OVER LA is engaging, thrilling, and wildly entertaining. The way Love molds his characters and places them in the trials and tribulations of LA in the 70s is done in such an unique and intelligent manner. The characters are extremely well drawn and the action has great pace to it. This phenomenal read would only grow in power if staged. Excellent!

Dark, atmospheric, moody, full of love yet hate..... and perfectly noir.
Moonlight Over L.A. is fine writing, as slick as Joe himself. This play had me hooked from the get go as it weaves through the streets and characters of 70s L.A. audiences will be dying to find out how this clever play ends.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing "Moonlight Over L.A.," and I wanted to express my admiration. The noir-inspired storytelling set in 197Os Los Angeles captivated me from start to finish.

The characters are vividly drawn, each with their own secrets and desires. The dialogue crackles with authenticity.

Congratulations on creating such a compelling work. I look forward to reading more of his plays in the future. Bravo!

Ken Love and me have. Connection with L.A. his a gripping tale of fate and redemption, "Midnight Over L.A." is a must-read. It's a complex story of love, conflict, and the pursuit of dreams with a backdrop of life's harsh realities. Great piece Ken. I would love see this staged.

I love the 70's. I love noir. And so, I wasn't surprised that I was hooked very quickly while reading Love's brilliant "Moonlight Over LA." What speaks to his talent in composing this elegy set in the seedy underbelly of 1972 LA is that it never lets you go. The soliloquys to the audience are insightful, composed, and sometimes brutal. The characters are just so well drawn that I had no problem picturing them with glee as I consumed the story. It is my extreme hope that I get to see this staged someday... it's going to be spectacular!

I meant to read a little of Ken Love’s MOONLIGHT OVER L.A. before bed but I couldn’t stop reading until I was finished. It’s a compelling story using the full set of familiar and effective noir devices - narrative asides from our doomed yet charismatic protagonist, beautiful and dangerous women, guns and alcohol, all fueled by the sweet sounds of jazz. It’s a world of wondrous escapism that teeters somewhere in the imagination between gritty reality and black and white Humphrey Bogart films. Beautifully done. I would absolutely pay to see this performed.

"Moonlight Over L.A." takes the nostalgic noir atmosphere and breathes life into it with fresh theatricality. Ken Love manages to combine crime, misogyny, race, and trauma and turn into it a cinematic exploration over the human condition within the time period from an original angle.

Dark, brooding, convoluted yet precise, Ken Love's "Moonlight Over L.A." is a terrific example of film noir style on stage. The characters are all vibrantly alive – even the dead ones – and the atmosphere is heavy with foreboding, as all noir should be. A wonderful read, I'm sure in the hands of a smart director and cast it will be a supremely entertaining evening.

“Moonlight over L.A” is a special piece. The subject matter is accentuated by the Noir theme, and the dialogue flows like a river. Ken Love has put every ounce of passion possible into the story, a gem of a play. Great work, Ken!
