About Love and Information


Someone sneezes. Someone can’t get a signal. Someone won’t answer the door.

 Someone put an elephant on the stairs. Someone’s not ready to talk. Someone is her brother’s mother.
Someone hates irrational numbers. Someone told the police. Someone got a message from the traffic light.
Someone’s never felt like this before.

In this fast moving kaleidoscopic play, 15 performers embody more than 100 characters to examine not only the meaning of what we say to each other but also how we say it. In a time when communication and 'keeping in touch' has become more complicated than ever, this play reminds us of the messiness and the beauty of shared moments.

This production has been entirely rehearsed, constructed, and filmed virtually using zoom, personal smart phones and laptops, DIY green screens, and the ingenuity of the ensemble within the constraints of in their own homes.
