Synopsis:
John Cariani’s LOVE/SICK is a comedy collection of nine slightly twisted and completely hilarious short plays. Set on a Friday night in an alternate suburban reality, this relatable romp explores the pain and the joy that comes with being in love.
Each scene has its own arc and tells the story of a couple at a crossroads in their relationship. Since each relationship is more advanced than the previous relationship, a larger arc emerges and the individual plays work together to create a satisfying whole - one that chronicles the lifecycle of a typical relationship from meeting through divorce...and afterwards.
If you have ever been in a relationship, been in love, or had your heart broken, you will be able to relate to this beautiful comedic play!
Full of imperfect lovers and dreamers, LOVE/SICK is an unromantic comedy for the romantic in everyone.
