    Jones does an incredible job of combining intense sorrow, love and beauty into one of the hardest places for such love and beauty to blossom. These characters are very strong. So much so I think they warrant a longer story!

    Brief yet heartbreaking. "My Own Darling Boy" serves as a reminder that tragedies often come without warning and leave a devastating toll on those who remain. Jones also reminds her audience of a time not long ago when people weren't able to love freely, making the love story of John and James all the more tragic. Plus, any show that references "Johnny Got His Gun" is a 10/10 in my book.

    This play balances heartbreak and joy beautifully and provides great opportunities for young actors who want to tackle a period piece and a touching LGBTQ+ story at the same time -- and in just ten minutes! Jones's heart shines through here, and if you haven't read her work yet, this is a great starting point!

    Sweet and sad, MY OWN DARLING BOY walks a beautiful line between tragedy and romance. In a time when LGBTQIA2S+ liberties are under constant threat by state governments, this play serves as a reminder of how far we have come and how much further we still have to go to ensure the safety and dignity of our neighbors.
