Love is a drug, or so the song goes. It can make you high, like you’re floating in
space. Or it can drop you, hard, on your head. It’s an addiction, and one that
feeds on other addictions: eating you up from the inside out.

Set in a world of dimly lit backstreets and dingy squats, Patricia Cornelius’
award-winning Love is a searing meditation on the nature of that most powerful
human emotion and the forces it unleashes. Here, love defines a world where
bodies tenderly touch in the darkness and a kiss can ignite a heart-and yet
what most of us want more than anything is also the thing that
is capable of destroying us.

Tanya and Annie are soulmates— joined for life. Or that’s what Tanya believes
until Lorenzo comes along. Who loves whom, and who loves best?

Malthouse Theatre, in conjunction with HotHouse Theatre brings to the
stage the best of contemporary Australian writing in a work in which poetry
and poison travel together in your veins.
