Love and Information
Scenes from Love and Information
Event details
⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Outstanding thought-provoking work from immensely talented young Chester performers” – Michael Green, Cheshire Live on The Trials performed by SYC 2023
Love and Information is an extraordinary kaleidoscope of scenes, delving into the profound impact of technology on modern relationships.
This fast-paced and innovative play explores the challenges of forming connections in a society overwhelmed by noise and distraction, and how new and missing information changes the way we relate to one another.
With moments of humour and insight, it will leave you reflecting on the ways we are connected and disconnected in today’s world.
Written by Caryl Churchill, one of the UK’s most influential playwrights, this bold and striking play will captivate and provoke.
