Love Song by John Kolvenbach

This cute little four-hander show features Caroline Craig, Julia Zemiro, Greg Stone and Thomas Wright.

Funny, enchanting and wonderfully touching, John Kolvenbach's offbeat comedy LOVE SONG is a rhapsody to the power of love in all its forms.
For his first MTC production, director Craig Ilott (a Helpmann-nominee and Green Room-winner for Hedwig and the Angry Inch) has assembled a cast of comedic charmers: Caroline Craig (Blue Heelers), Helpmann and Green Room-winner Greg Stone, Thomas Wright (The Glass Soldier) and Julia Zemiro (Rockwiz, Eurobeat) in her MTC debut.
Beane (Thomas Wright) is an exile from life – an oddball.  His well-meaning sister Joan (Julia Zemiro) and brother-in-law Harry (Greg Stone) try and make time for him in their busy lives, but no one can get through.  Following a burglary in his apartment, Joan is baffled to find her brother blissfully happy and tries to unravel the story behind Beane's mysterious new love Molly (Caroline Craig).
LOVE SONG received its world premiere at Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre Company in April 2006 and was subsequently produced in London on the West End.  John Kolvenbach’s other plays include On an Average Day, The Gravity of Means, Gizmo Love and Fabuloso.

The cast here are exceptional. They poise themselves on a luciously witty script with grace, humour and divine passion. It's hard not to be drawn into the 90 minute tale of Beane and his quest for love. The show is playing until 19th April at the Fairfax Studio. Make sure you grab a ticket. This is a lovely night out and will leave you with a smile on your face!
