Love/Sick – March 23-April 2
by John Cariani
A Firehouse Production. From the writer of “Almost, Maine” comes a collection of nine slighty twisted and completely hilarious vignettes about the pain and joy that comes with being in love.
“A whimsical romantic comedy. In the nine vignettes that make up the play, couples meet, or break apart, or learn to love each other more… the jokes here are easygoing and snark-free.”
—The New York Times
“LOVE/SICK brings to light the complexity of communication and what it means to not only love someone else, but yourself as well… truly beautiful.”
—TheSource.com
“A dark, amusing look at romance…strikes just the right balance between wisdom and whimsy…light, bright, anti-romantic, and engaging.”
—The Hartford Courant.
“Entertaining and fun. A satisfyingly dark look at this thing we call love.”
—BroadwayWorld.com
“Sometimes playwright John Cariani looks at the world—actually the worlds—of love and relationships through rose-colored glasses. Just as often he views those worlds through lenses tinted a middling-to-dark-gray or maybe a jaundiced yellow. While poking fun at the happily-ever-after notion by means of a strong dose of happily-never-after, Cariani shoots his cockeyed valentines with a quiver full of funny lines. He knows how to keep audiences laughing while passing along disappointing news.”
