Love Is.

Lee Turnbull's Love Is...is not to be missed! It has been a long time since I have been so moved by performances so raw and real. It felt as if I were spying on real people going through real issues before my eyes - a rare thing in LA theatre. This play is only about an hour long and in that short time it packs quite an emotional punch. The script is lean and realistic, capturing both the mundane moments and the gut wrenching emotion of a couple in crisis and the directing serves the script and actors well. Scenes move briskly through several changes and the actors, who also serve as crew, jostle furniture and props about to seamlessly create various playing areas. What stands out most is the acting.

Just got back from seeing this intense, fantastic, raw and emotionally intelligent play. So excited to see such a rare live event that brought the audience first to tears and finally to their feet!! Run to see it! Don't stop. Go with friends and loved ones and plan to talk long into the night after. The casts performances are so real that a few times I turned away feeling embarrassed that I would be caught spying. Molly and lee are "crazy" good. The rest of the ensemble fall right in line. Go! Go! Go" ... full review

Just saw "Love is". Magnificent, a jewel in the crown of Theatre. Lee Turnbull, as a play writer and illactor is first class. The role of Emily was perfection. I am not one to cry, but I did. I am not one to yell BRAVO at the end, but I did. Every aspect was great, even to the front door becoming the bedroom door as the scenes changed. KUDOS to the Complex Theatre for presenting this performance. Bill... full review

This is one of the best shows I've seen at the Fringe this year. It's beautifully written, directed and performed and you are engaged from the moment it starts to the very end. The audience audibly gasped at the last moment. There are some great offerings at Fringe, but this one is truly professional, moving and heartfelt theatre. Be sure not to miss this one! Congratulations to all involved - just excellent all around! ... full review

I don't even know what to say about this except go see it. Never in my life have I ever experienced this kind of deep emotional connection to a piece of theater. The ensemble work is gorgeous; the acting deep and heartfelt and sublime. Lee's writing is beautiful and truthful, and all I can say is go see it. Go see it.... full review

Wow... just... wow. A heart-wrenching high-stakes relationship drama with a sick twist at the end that hits you like a knife to your gut. Boy oh boy I did not see that ending coming. I should have, but I didn't. I audibly gasped. This one's going to stick with me for a while. Don't miss it. ... full review

Incredible writing and incredible acting are a solid one, two in this Knockout of a show! A true drama, with none of the soap opera, the actors transport you into their world, making you care deeply about their plight. Be sure to pack some tissues for this tear jerker.... full review

Love Is. Wow, what an incredible, profoundly touching show. not only was the script excellently written, the performance was well cast, with convincing performers who really brought the story to life in a relatable, vivid way. I was enthralled from he first scene. This show captures the essence of love, heartache, vulnerability, and loss. My chest tightened and I couldn't help but cry right along with the players onstage who presented the real, raw, living expressions of grief, shock, and heartbreak. An incredibly honest, gut-wrenching show. ... full review
