←Recommendations of THE BEAUTY OF A ROSE

It's a thought-provoking dialogue, not just about a supercomputer, but about the belief that logic must be prioritised over emotion. But is logic sufficient to provide answers for all the great questions? Should individuals surrender decision-making to a supercomputer? In that context, is there still a place for emotions and beauty? Thankfully, we can enjoy the beauty of a rose, and many thanks to Jack Levine for reminding us of that truth. A reflective play about technology and humanity.

Logic, emotions, self-determination, the human factor - "The Beauty of a Rose" has it all in a concise, thought-provoking exploration of decision making for our planet. A gorgeously written and witty science fiction play that will both challenge the thinking of it's audience members and entertain as well. "We can no more set aside our feelings than live without breathing."

Jack Levin’s “The Beauty of a Rose” is a thoughtful sci-fi piece that questions the essence of humanity. It’s the kind of play you think about long after reading it.

I really enjoyed this play. Very philosophical in nature. It wrestles with big ideas, not the least of which is the survival of the human race. My mind was engaged the whole time. Fantastic writing and story-telling!

I had the great pleasure of reading this piece as part of a weekly play reading and not only was it brilliantly written, it was also very thought provoking. The idea that humanity (which has become increasingly dependent on technology) doesn't want it making all our decisions. It asks the ultimate question of do we really believe our lives will remain ours to decide? A fabulous and poingant play. So very well done.

I just had the honor of being a part of a reading of this thoughtful work, and loved it. There's so much here to think about: humanity and efficiency. Should we let the machines dictate our logical society--which eliminates our humanity? Much to discuss, much to think about, and fun roles for all the actors!

I was drawn to this play because some of the plays I write myself are rather sci-fi in nature. Jack Levine didn't let me down. He has written a quick but thought provoking little gem here that I can almost hear Mr. Spock and Dr. McCoy arguing over. Read for yourself! It's fast!

I had the pleasure of hearing a recent reading of this engrossing short play, an unusual look at artificial intelligence with a wonderfully surprising twist. Lots of food for thought here. Well done!

This is satisfying short science fiction.

Jack Levine may include a twist in this 10-minute drama, but that isn't what the story is about. Instead, the twist serves to tell part of the story, to reflect upon the theme of "The Beauty of a Rose."

Nicely written.

An entertaining and thought-provoking look at the value of humanity.
