Wonderfully structured to pull your heart right out of its cage. What a beautiful play. I remember those years so sadly, and this is a play that while a period piece also feels so relevant today with so much tragedy all around us and so little we can do about it. A great moving piece of theatre!

So relatable! I love Hilary Bluestein-Lyons work for this incredible quality that always lets me into the play and lets me relate to it with all of myself. The relationship between the father and the daughter after a great estrangement at the point of almost-too-late creates great tension. Wonderfully done!

Very funny play about an older adult getting onto social. The relationship between the father and the son is beautifully portrayed - they're close but there's a limit! It's great to see how the son carves out his boundaries. I love the ending!

A beautiful play about the small stuff that means the most. Also a play about memory. I love the sensory details Hartley-Kong expertly drops in to keep the piece grounded and unsentimental.

What a beautiful and complex potentiality! Theatre: A Love Story removes the mostly I of American life and replaces it with we and you so that we can imagine community again, connection, and the gel of life as it was once on earth when theatre began around the campfire, when we included ourselves among the animals and the trees. Thank you Caridad for such a play so we may imagine again! This theatre, I love.

Caridad Svich is a genius, and I am thrilled to be able to read her work here. I love this play because it addresses so many real and important things and history, and it does so in a real world how-it-affects-us-all way that is simultaneously poetic/lyrical and political and playable and moving. This could be wonderfully inhabited by actors.

Love the language! Rothstein creates a fabulous world of bankers. Their world-views may be incredibly shallow and offensive but they are so interesting to watch and listen to. The plot twists and turns to keep you at the edge of your seat.

A very funny play with a marvelous ending. I love the idea that his helpers are a horse and a monkey. Would be hilarious onstage. Every writer needs this kind of help!

BEAUTIFUL PLAY! Wonderful work! Hageman really just gets people on so many levels. I hope this play gets produced everywhere cause we all need this play! It's deep and it's cool, and it's a sharp piece of truth. Oh, and there's a great monologue in it too.

I am so sad that this is a short play because even though it works beautifully as a short play, I really want to read the next scene! But as a short play, it's funny, it's real, it's relatable, and I love the characters and their differences and their relationship, and all the things they want, and all the great obstacles against them - I even worried that they might break up in the ten minutes I spent with them - and I love the ending! I'm totally satisfied, but I guess I just wanna go to Italy now.
