Love and Information at Theatre Workshop of Nantucket

In this pause, when live theatre has been interrupted across the world, we have reached out to theaters and theater university departments across the country to join us on a journey to bring Love and Information to life in this virtual moment. Normally this level of collaboration would be impossible on many levels, however, in this moment it is not only possible, but appropriate and fitting.Together with collaborating theaters, we have created a digital work of Caryl Churchills piece that captures the dense fabric she placed on the page in a different and unique way.Comprised of more than 50 short scenes that range from seconds to minutes, this play leaves much room for creativity and interpretation and lending itself in this unprecedented moment to find its way to a virtual presentation.For me, Churchill suggests, with compassionate urgency, that our insatiable appetite for knowledge needs to be informed by our capacity for love.-Michael Billington, The GuardianThe play asks us to consider how meaning is constructed and to participate in the process. -Jennifer Wilkinson, The Socialist ReviewLeave it to Ms. Churchill to come up with a work that so ingeniously and exhaustively mirrors our age of the splintered attention span. Throughout her career, which covers more than four decades, this British playwright has proved herself without peer in creating expressly topical works in which form and function are one. -Ben Brantley, New York TimesThe virtual production of Love and Information will be available through this page on the dates and times listed below.July 15 (7pm US eastern standard time and available for 24 hours)August 5, 12, 19 (2pm US eastern standard time and available for 24 hours on each of these days).
