. . . sets tear ducts going and send stomachs soaring. You'll want
to punch the air. ****

Jess and Joe Forever is that rare thing, a well-made play.
Beautifully crafted, sweet and succinct, the story sells itself as
ice cream on a dull summer's day.
*Exeunt Magazine*
This is a small play with a big heart, a romantic comedy that's
genuinely funny but also unexpectedly powerful. ****
