REVIEWS & RECOMMENDATIONS
“JOHN MABEY, once again, hits a Grand Slam with a dark comedy about the pulls-and-tugs of trying to make a relationship work on a most appropriate day, Valentine’s Day. “Love Sucks” is filled with humor with a bit of advice for the forlorn: Choose your partner well or you may find yourself being sucked dry of emotion and other things. Nice job! I would love to see this play performed!”

“What a darkly funny spin on the conventions of romantic comedy. The source of jealousy is a witty surprise and the narrative just becomes funnier and funnier from there. This is an imaginative, novel, and thoroughly engaging
Valentine's Day treat.”

“The vampire genre can be generic and recycled, but John Mabey is able to craft a dark comedy that is fresh, funny, and smart. There are so many great layers and a beautiful sense of juxtaposition about how/why we choose to be in the relationships we are in. LOVE SUCKS is delicious good time!”
