BEST NEW PLAY - Theatre Awards UK 2011
A thrilling charge...required viewing
***** The Daily Telegraph
Synopsis
“It could have been politicians or old men, an orchestra or ballet or something old like that something old, but it wasn’t. It was pop music. Young people, like us, dressed up as they want. Things are changing every day at the moment.”
1967. Kenneth and Sandra know the world is changing. And they want some of it.
Love, Love, Love takes on the baby boomer generation as it retires, and finds it full of trouble. Smoking, drinking, affectionate and paranoid, one couple’s forty-year journey from initial burst to full bloom.
Paines Plough and the Drum Theatre Plymouth present the world première of Olivier Award winner Mike Bartlett’s new play.

★★★★★ Daily Telegraph
"Mike Bartlett’s lethally funny new play will provide you with a head-rush of pure comic catharsis…beautifully conceived and performed…not to be missed."
★★★★ Independent
"Fuelled by drinking that makes Mad Men look like a bunch of lightweights...peppered with terrific lines and big laughs...the clash of generational world views with a devastating precision."
