LOVE AND OTHER ACTS OF VIOLENCE

By Cordelia Lynn
7 October 2021 - 27 November 2021

A young Jewish physicist and an activist poet meet at a party and fall in love. As society splinters around them, the couple's struggle to survive erupts into violence. 

Cordelia Lynn’s new play is a subversive and intimate love story about inheritance and the cycles of politics and history.  Elayce Ismail directs a cast including Richard Katz (1984, West End), Tom Mothersdale (Out West: Blue Water and Cold and Fresh, Lyric Hammersmith), and introducing Abigail Weinstock in her professional debut.
