Inspired by the amorous antics of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, CRAZY FOR LOVE explores the dynamics of human attraction and love. What draws us in the first place? What keeps us together?      

A play with five songs, CRAZY FOR LOVE creates a parallel universe inhabited by two long-married but almost fatally fantasy-prone shrinks, their assistants, a manic ornithologist and a parrot. As all search for true love, or an unreasonable facsimile thereof, seduction games are played, jealousy is aroused and many feathers are ruffled.
 
Music leads the lovers on, sometimes inflaming, sometimes soothing, their supersized egos and untamed ids. And flower power, which you thought was OUT, comes back IN with a vengeance. 

The cast is Ingrid Kullberg-Bendz, Andrew Langton, Jasper McGruder, Mary Hodges, Patricia Runcie, Heather Edwards (musician) and Tony Mirrcandani.

Crazy For Love (formerly known as love-indleness) is her Elizabeth Bove's first play and was a finalist at the Moondance International Film Festival (Stage Play Category) in 2002.
