Hailed as one of England's greatest living playwrights, Caryl Churchill has provoked audiences for over four decades. Here, she snapchats a world flooded with data, exploring the ways our environment of information impacts identity and relationships. Told through a theatrically adventurous sequence of individual tiny plays, Love and Information provides no context for any of the dialogue, leaving it up to the artists to create character, setting, and style. With energetic intelligence and a dazzling instinct for the absurd, this ingenious play confronts the data overload that bombards us every day – a glittering exploration of how we attempt to communicate what's inside our heads.
