Taut tale of when love turns to hate

This latest play from Gail Louw is a thrilling examination of the complex relationships of adopted parents, their children and gay partners. With a strong cast directed by Martin Dickinson it examines how love and nurture turn to rejection and hatred.

The cast includes Paul Moriarty, Jack Klaff, and Laurence Bown.

The director commented: “Love has a way of entwining itself like ivy, the leaves may wither and die but the roots remain strong always there. The Half Life of Love cleverly explores the remains of what love has left behind, we learn much about Alex, Eamonn and Connor but also about ourselves. The play, based on true events looks at the tolerance within relationships, how the privilege of adoption can so easily be thrown away, we can all relate to the cycle of love and hate and how closely they can bind themselves. Will they ever break their cycle?”
