All the Ways to Say I Love You is a solo play about love, hard choices, and the cost of fulfilling an all-consuming desire.
REVIEWS:

"[All the Ways to Say I Love You] is a throwback to a favorite form of Mr. LaBute’s earlier days: the one-act monologue in which an ostensibly sunny soul strips down to dark shadows."

The New York Times

"It’s a testament to…the effectiveness of LaBute’s prose that you may handily forget [his] Mrs. Johnson is duplicitous, irresponsible…and to some degree disconnected from reality…exquisitely interesting material…"

WNBC New York

"Leave it to Neil LaBute to find a heretofore unknown…way to express one’s love…As anyone who knows LaBute’s work can expect, a creeping primal darkness ensnares us in what appears to be an ordinary life."

Newsday (NY)
