LOVE LOVE A Virus Pandemic Play

"Each person I passed might
grab me
shoot me
take my supplies
or
—my worst fear—
touch me,
pull off my mask
breath on me
make me sick."
LOVE LOVE: With Darkness Descending
Length: full-length (120 minutes)
Characters: Kit, Von, Helen, Carter, Ugene the Computer, Wayne the Cockroach
Genre: Tragedy
If history is written by the winners, then things don't look good for the humans when Wayne the Cockroach takes over the narration of this play halfway through the first act. LOVE LOVE follows a handful of survivors—barricaded in their house, out at sea in a boat, and traveling across the galaxy in search of a new planet to call home, as they fight for life and love after a virus wreaks devastation across the Earth.
