    LOVE LOVE  A Virus Pandemic Play 

    Halftone Image of Crowd
    "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. 

    Selection: NEWvember Play Festival reading, 2015. Tangent Theatre, Tivoli, NY.
