Reseñas de la Crítica

"[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)

"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)

"[Judith Light] vividly renders her character's complex feeling of shame, regret, and also unabashed joy...The anguish that Mrs. Johnson feels is palpable, and it's impossible not to sympathize with her." (Hollywood Reporter)

"The emotionally ravaged, unexpectedly sensuous Mrs. Johnson is a departure from the rueful, acerbic quipsters she has perfect onstage, and Ms. Light brings a vibrant, thirsty eroticism to the part." (The New York Times)

Great performance

Judith Light delivers a layered eye opening portrayal of a tormented woman. Really good stuff here. Strong, sexy, smart and honest.

She’s The Boss!

Judith Light’s performance was amazing and incredibly engaging.

Really enjoyed the interview as well. Offered great insight into Judith’s career.

Great to revisit a great performance

I saw the play two years ago at MCC. Judith Light was magnificent in the one-woman play and my attention never wavered from start to finish. It's great that many people can share that experience to a certain degree through this audiobook. Yes, it's short. It was a little under 1 hour when I saw it and is the same here, but the storytelling is just so mesmerizing that it barely matters. It doesn't drag and you get what you need to understand what the character is going through on a quite personally level.

Powerful story

This was a powerful play and Judith Light's Audio performance was gripping. Her anguish, frustrations and regrets came at me just as powerfully as if she was on stage in front of me.

It's a shame that the play is too short

I was so taken by the play that when it was over I was like "Wait! I want more!" Judith Light's performance was impecable, heartfelt, powerful... I loved every minute of it. The story is so simple and easy, and yet SO strong and filled with very interesting messages. Neil LaBute is an extraordinary writer, and I can't wait to hear more from his work.
