Objective Love

A lyrical study in the ways, perhaps misguided, that He and She love. OBJECTIVE LOVE, Megan Terry’s new play dwells on the phony appearances upon which modern romance depends … Actors float in and out of the performance as if they were clouds. The only recurring figures are named merely ‘He’ and ‘She, ’ perhaps representing the American Every Couple … There is no lack of love in the world, Ms Terry reflects. But it’s channeled to other things: mindless jobs, motorcycles, clothing, mathematics, things. Her words are sometimes as abstract and striking as the props that surround them. At times the work is poetically vivid … Other times they are hilariously funny … OBJECTIVE LOVE, in short, is an exciting melange of images and words that seems light years more contemporary than any other theatrical stab at the subject. -Roger Catlin, Omaha World Herald OBJECTIVE LOVE, a witty and visually striking study of how people love others as objects, not as individuals. -J W, Sunday Nonpareil
