LOVE AND INFORMATION by Caryl Churchill

Someone has a secret.

A scientist dissects a brain.

Someone loves a virtual woman.

A child doesn’t know fear.

Someone is tortured.

Another has a dream.

Exploring our need for connection in a world affected by the speed of information, twenty actors perform a hundred vibrant characters searching for meaning, in a myriad of fractured encounters.

“Churchill suggests, with compassionate urgency, that our insatiable appetite for knowledge needs to be informed by our capacity for love.” Michael Billington | Theatre critic | The Guardian

A myriad of short scenes, a comedy of communication, a drama of depression, a modern manual of sex, memory, and schizophrenia. I’m not quite sure how it happens, but every time Caryl Churchill writes a play, she breaks the mould.  Michael Coveney | Theatre critic | Whatsonstage.com
