Presented by Mercury Adult Company

Join us for Love and Information, Caryl Churchill’s electrifying exploration of modern life, staged by the Mercury Adult Company and directed by Forest Morgan. This bold and fast-paced production delves into the ways we connect, communicate, and cope in an age of overwhelming data and fleeting intimacy.

Comprising over 50 short scenes, Love and Information weaves together a tapestry of human stories – some funny, some poignant, all deeply resonant. From whispered secrets to digital overload, Churchill’s razor-sharp writing captures the noise and nuance of everyday life with wit, insight, and emotional depth.

Forest Morgan brings a fresh and dynamic vision to this modern classic, guiding a talented ensemble from the Mercury Adult Company in a production that is both intimate and expansive. Whether you’re a Churchill aficionado or discovering her work for the first time, this performance promises to leave you thinking long after the final blackout.

Don’t miss your chance to witness this thought-provoking theatrical experience. Book your tickets now and immerse yourself in the chaos, humour, and heartbreak of Love and Information.
