LOVE
"A smart, silly gem." - TimeOut Chicago "The
best cabin-fever housewife since - Chicago Maroon "Damned if Peter Papadopoulos hasn't woven together wildly disparate but topical threads in Lost Love that somehow reflect the information-loaded emotional breakdown that typifies our historical moment." - Minneapolis City Pages "Everything that your Jane Eyre at the Guthrie is not." - Minnesota Daily |
Full Length Play, 3W/2-3M |
Global warming has never been so much fun. Mitzy, a waterlogged, wedding-day bride, and Tito, her streetwise, Zenwise parking valet, argue on the mountaintop where they have been stranded after a devastating flood. Several states away, Barb comes home from work to find that her firebrand girlfriend, Jan, has exacted revenge for her cheating by selling off the contents of their house and then filling it with yard plants. The waters are rising fast in this global warming world. Can these lost souls find their way back to love in time to save themselves and the planet?
