An edge of your seat story from beginning to end. I love the similarities and differences between the father and the son, the staging, and the differences between everyone. This would be theatrical magic to see on a stage. Gripping from the moment the curtain goes up. Excellent work!

"Dance Into Night" is a truly gripping read. The characters are deeply developed, and the way the story moves between past and present keeps you hooked. The use of music (I'm a bit biased, the tenor sax is one of my top five favorite sounds) and unique settings add to the emotional impact. It's a powerful look at love, betrayal and redemption. Give Mr. Love his flowers, American Theatre.

I had the great good fortune to catch a ZOOM reading of this beautifully composed play. Melodious, atmospheric, shadowy, ethereal, complex, riveting, extraordinary. At the center stands a conflicted young man caught up in a whirlwind of tremendous obligations, caught up in a (losing) battle against fate. A modern tragedy of epic proportions. Gorgeously drawn characters, incredible dialogue, highly theatrical. This work could and should elevate Love to the ranks of other notable eminent American playwrights. A must stage. Highly recommend.
