Ten years ago, Laura was a student in Alan Wells’ English class. She was uncharacteristically smart for a fifteen-year-old–perceptive and vulnerable–a dream for a flailing teacher. Now, at twenty-five, Laura has written her first novel. She’s called it Dear Mr. Wells, and Alan is the first person she wants to read it. Weaving seamlessly from present to past, Lo (or Dear Mr. Wells) burrows in the grey areas of consent. A coming-of-age story, a love story, a vindication, Lo (or Dear Mr. Wells) examines a formative relationship that both corrupts and liberates.

“…there is rarely this level of nuance in the narrative of sexual assault.” – Mooney on Theatre
“Rose Napoli’s drama about a young woman’s affair with her teacher offers up complex characters and a painfully believable journey.” – NOW Magazine
