THE REVIEWS
“Dr. Morgan Mead (Daintry Jensen) is the ultimate woman: she is Eve! And this is the playwright’s homage to her. ”
“Infidelity proves to be more thank ‘Just Sex’… Jeff Gould (writer-director) finds his way to emotional authenticity with his engaging new serious comedy It’s Just Sex …Nozick and [Daintry] Jensen are the other standouts.”
“Daintry Jensen might well give a lesson to all actresses, present and future. She shows us all the varied patchwork of emotions - hopes, fears, frustrations and raw courage…Jensen gives a tenderly moving performance in a role which, in less talented hands, might have been a lugubrious tearjerker. Neatly done.”
