2022/23 Season
Love and Information
February 26 - April 3, 2023
Written by: Caryl Churchill
Directed by: Emily Chase
The Digital Age has given humanity access to radical equality, effortless connection, and unprecedented intimacy. It has also served as a driver of detachment, alienation, and unbridled anger. Celebrated playwright Caryl Churchill examines these ideas and more through a kaleidoscope of 49 scenes – in just 90 minutes – featuring people from all walks of life, each asking the biggest of questions: What does it mean to be human? Directed by Company Member Emily Chase (Eight Nights).
From the iconic playwright of Cloud 9 and Top Girls!
“A work that ingeniously and exhaustively mirrors our age of the splintered attention span… A thought-churning, deeply poignant play.” – The New York Times
“Churchill suggests, with compassionate urgency, that our insatiable appetite for knowledge needs to be informed by our capacity for love.” – The Guardian
