"Quirky allegory in the theater can be charming, and Delaney Britt Brewer uses the device beautifully in An Octopus Love Story...The production's best moments, though, belong to Danny and Jane appealingly rendered by Tyson and Holsopple. These are characters of enormous pluck and charm. In fact, they almost seem like a 21st-century equivalent of Rock Hudson and Doris Day."

"Delaney Britt Brewer has written a tight script in which brilliant comic jewels glitter amid deep, poignant revelations. Her flip contemporary style finds the anchor it needs in the grounded performances of a truly talented cast."

"Just when you thought Neil Simon had no descendent in the 21st century, along comes Delaney Britt Brewer. Her snappy new comedy, An Octopus Love Story, is one of the most accessible and genuinely funny shows to hit downtown in quite a while."

"An Octopus Love Story is one of the best written and acted plays currently on the boards in this town, whether those boards be in the Times Square area or the Flatiron District."

"With its topical plot, flawed and fully realized characters, and direction as smooth and transparent as glass, [An Octopus Love Story] is both timely and universal."

What if falling in love with the wrong person was the best thing you ever did?

Jane and Danny, two drifting New Yorkers, identify themselves as gay…until their friendship catches their hearts off guard. A political protest against the ban on same-sex marriage ignites an unlikely and heartbreaking romance in An Octopus Love Story.
