←Recommendations of a Play for Zoom

Romeo does a very nice job of showing us one couple navigating the pandemic and the zoom culture. As those of us who survived the first wave and wait nervously for the next, we have all experienced the fears and the challenge of these times. A contemporary love story, well written and captivating. Brava!

A beautifully haunting play about love, loss and the everyday risk of being human. Insightful portrayal of two older adults caught in circumstances they cannot control. Perfect zoom play. And I do mean perfect.

Lia Romeo masterfully explores the profound yearning for connection we all experienced in 2020, especially in NYC. The vulnerability of the two characters in this play moves me.

Stunning in both its simplicity and depth, this play pulls no punches. Two people, desperate for a connection, explore the impact of recent events and show us how much it has truly cost all of us. I particularly like the turn at the end.

Though set over Zoom and during a very specific time period, this feels like a timeless play about love, loss, aging and relevance. It's fascinating to read this in November 2021, and to relive so many of the fears and losses and anxieties of those early months of the pandemic. I'm inspired by the realistic and often very funny dialogue and the portraits of Charles and Enid who felt so incredibly real to me.

I love this play so much. Is this the best zoom play written? It might be.

This play is one of the best uses of Zoom theatre that I've seen. I predict it will become a classic, like "Love Letters," and it can be done on zoom or (eventually) on stage with the actors reading their scripts off of laptops. It's a lovely character study of two people falling in love during the pandemic, with quite a few surprises and some very funny moments. It's nice to see such accurate portrayals of people over the age of 60.

I saw this performed online from Prince William Sound College. Romeo captures all the wonder and awkwardness of online dating with two fully realized characters trying to make their way in the most challenging of times. It is moving and brings up some important issues our society needs to consider

A wonderful play about the benefit of quarantine, technology catching on with the late adapters in a positive way by allowing connections to be made. A beautiful willingness to stay by each other's side for as long as they need. Wonderful!

There are so many things I like about Lia's work -- the creativity, the realistic dialogue, the 3D characters are just a few -- and all of those are present here. What I really enjoy about this play is that she articulates so well the thoughts, feelings and anxieties about this current pandemic that I can't put into words. Reading the script, I often found myself saying, "You're describing exactly what I'm feeling!" and "That's what I've been struggling to say!" Although many of us may be lonely right now, the play notes, we're not alone.
