Lovesong

Anna and I went and saw a new play called “Love Song” at the lovely New Ambassadors Theatre, starring Neve Campbell (Party of Five), Kristen Johnston (3rd Rock from the Sun), Michael McKean (Short Circuit 2) and Cillian Murphy (28 Days Later). Delightful, with many good laughs plus an emotional and unexpected ending.

Beane is an exile from life - an oddball. His well-meaning sister Joan and brother-in-law Harry try and make time for him in their busy lives, but no one can get through. Following a burglary at his apartment, Joan is baffled to find her brother blissfully happy and tries to unravel the story behind Beane's mysterious new love Molly. Funny, theatrically playful and moving, John Kolvenbach's new romantic comedy explores the infectious effects of love and the redemptive power of hope.
