Some excerpts from reviews

'...a perfectly-crafted fit - Van Graan's script and Maytham's delivery go together like a hand inside a glove...a deeply human meditation on choice, and the stubborn beauty of living.' - Karen Rutter, Weekend Special.

'To Life, With Love...is a lyrical reflection on one man's journey, his regrets about missed opportunities, and the quiet reckonings of a life lived in the shadow of privilege and political change. Directed with sensitivity by Josh Lindberg...this one-man play...is masterfully performed by John Maytham....Van Graan's script...is unflinching in its honesty as it weaves politics into the personal....It seems a necessary piece of theatre for our times. I suspect it will go down as an important archival piece, a razor-sharp documentation of a pivotal point in South Africa's history.' - Julia Norrish, Call off the Search

'To Life, with Love is teater wat jou help om sin te maak van die lewe. Dit laat jou gereeld lag, maar bowenal laat dit jou met dankbaarheid vir die wonderlike dele van die lewe.' - Laetitia Pople, Die Burger

'Mike van Graan navigates uncomfortable territory with care and insight through his protagonist Thomas Faulkner...John Maytham pours himself into Thomas as he presents his living testament - an affirmation of resilience and hope....To Life, With Love is a love story - to love - to cherish life - while we can.' - Robyn Cohen, The Cape Robyn

'The script is beautifully written...directed with care by Josh Lindberg and delivered skillfully with flow and just the right amount of humour by John Maytham....A moving one-hander that we should all see.' - Jozi and Lara, samsays_sa
