←Recommendations of The Look of Love

A new twist on the Rom-Com for the age of AI. I wonder how long it will be before this turns from fiction to reality. Maybe this is a prophecy of things to come.

I love that Lisa Attanasio has made me care about Alex, even made me see reflections of myself in the character. And the tension of "The Look of Love" is released beautifully. I'm glad this play is being produced and I hope I'll have a chance to watch or perhaps direct a production.

Clever, funny, and eerily plausible. Lisa Attanasio presents us with an awkward first date, but the reason for the awkwardness is totally unexpected and revealed perfectly. Equally charming and cautionary.

A very clever spin on first dates and the incursion of AI into everyday life with great characters for actors to explore. Very well executed, and a lot of fun.

From the start, something appears subtly and awkwardly wrong in this cleverly crafted tale of a first live date between two people who have talking on a dating app. Until one accuses the other of being, well perhaps not exactly what they seem. But which one of the two is truly a person, and which AI - one, the other, neither, or both? You decide, but either way, these two are meant for each other. A nice touch is that the two characters can be any sex, age, or ethnicity.

In this comedic short, an ordinary, if incredibly awkward, first date turns into much more, with a fantastically sweet reversal that had me giggling! It left me asking, "Is technology getting better, or are people just getting more disconnected and awkward?" While certainly silly, there are much deeper things to contemplate built into the subtext of this uncanny theatrical world! This would be simple to stage at festivals, with the potential for as much or as little sci-fi flair as desired! Fun!

Attanasio has crafted a love story for our times. It’s twisty, upbeat, clever, and fun. But beware - you may never look at a dating app again.

A mildly awkward and totally relatable first date takes an unexpected turn (or two) in Lisa Attanasio’s quick-paced comedy. Witty, fresh and topical.

A clever and charming comedy about searching for connection in the digital age. Attanasio has packed this short play full of witty banter, unexpected twists, and a new take on the importance of authenticity in connection. This play can easily be performed in a variety of spaces.
