This piece may be only 20 pages but what Dana Hall does with them is quite remarkable. This play is subtly powerful and resonates so deeply for me. Dealing with the end of life, and the difficulties a grown child might have with their aging parents, are challenging in the best of circumstances — and these, of course, are not. Dana has proven herself to be a powerful writer. I know this because I know her work. This play deserves to be among her best.

I love this piece. What Jacquie always does so well is gets to the point. And I mean it in the best possible way. Her command and whit shine through as they do in everything she does. No exposition, just great dialogue. I love her work. This one just works. Love it.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing "Moonlight Over L.A.," and I wanted to express my admiration. The noir-inspired storytelling set in 197Os Los Angeles captivated me from start to finish.

The characters are vividly drawn, each with their own secrets and desires. The dialogue crackles with authenticity.

Congratulations on creating such a compelling work. I look forward to reading more of his plays in the future. Bravo!

Ok. Stop what you're doing and read this play. I loved it. So good! More please.

Sometimes you read something that completely blows you away. It can be unexpected when this happens but happened it did. This play is brilliant on every level. It’s profound. It’s stellar. There is simply not enough accolades I can provide that do it justice. You must read this play. It’s worth it!

The narrative seamlessly blends historical context with intimate family dynamics, crafting a rich tapestry that captivates the audience from the start. The characters are well-developed and relatable, their interactions brimming with warmth and humor. Everyday moments around the dining table, filled with reminiscences of past adventures and family quirks, are poignantly contrasted with an impending sense of tragedy.

I don’t know what to say. This gripping narrative between two people struggling with the loss of a child is raw and, as Cole says, devastating. It’s unimaginable thinking about what these characters are going through. Cole threads the needle with an authenticity crafted from sheer will of wanting to tell a story that rings true. Outstanding and highly recommended.

This is a charming piece, structured in a way that keeps the reader engaged by the creativity of it. The characters are well-conceived, and the timeline progresses in a way that anyone who reads this will enjoy. Well done, and well crafted. Brava!

This raw, no fucks left to give play is unrelenting -- in all the good ways. Flynn shows us a side of humanity that is not exactly seen. Bravo on going there. Brilliantly executed.

I love smart plays. "Pride of Doves" is a smart play. The dialogue is impressive, as is the way Robinson weaves his story. At first, I thought, where is this going? But if you stick with it and let yourself be taken by it, it pays off. Terrific job and well worth the read.
