Staged Reading: "Love and Information"
Originally produced at the Royal Court Theater in London, Caryl Churchill's "Love and Information" ingeniously mirrors our age of splintered attention span. Each of the self-contained scenes, often seconds long and caught in mid conversation, deals with the ways we lust for, process, and reject knowledge. The play focuses on individuals trying to connect with, and understand each other in the 21st century. Each segment presents a situation likely to be familiar, and each seems as contemporary as cellphones and as eternal as humanity itself.
The cast includes Natalie Djondo, Lisa Enzer, Nanette Mendeita, Dan Morbyrne, David Regan, Patrick Ryan, and Linda Tardif. The play is directed by Sheryl Stoodley with Stage Manager Gabe CiFuentes. Many of the cast have previously worked with Serious Play, but included are some new faces of theatre students from Holyoke Community College, where Stoodley is a Theatre professor.
This reading is a part of Serious Play's new Perspectives Through Performance initiative, a program aiming to create a cultural exchange between theatre performers here and in the U.K., particularly those involved in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. This will be the first play from "across the pond" performed this season. In December, Serious Play will host Scottish Actress and musician Mairi Campbell in her critically acclaimed one-woman production, "Pulse".
