Press Reviews

"No More Sad Things is a beguiling, winningly acted fable about the kind of week-long acquaintance that can change the trajectory of your life."
— Time Out Chicago

"A smart, poignant and often funny play that sets you up to watch a typically post-modern, woman-centered romantic comedy, only then to subvert and satirize many of the elements of that genre."
— Chicago Tribune

"This well-crafted tale of an improbable yet somehow inevitable relationship is a gorgeous piece of theatre... Jung indeed is a master of blending, with the past and the present, the real and the theatrical, the idiosyncratically comedic and the deeply sad all weaving seamlessly into one story."
— Splash Magazine

"Hilarious and tender... the language Jung gives [Jessiee] is charming, surprising, and occasionally quite beautiful."
— The Stranger
