Love is a drug, or so the song goes. It can make you high, like
youre floating in
space. Or it can drop you, hard, on your head. Its 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 thats
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.
