Love and Information
By Caryl Churchill
9 July to 15 August 2015. Opening Night: Saturday 11 July 2015 at 8.00pm
Wharf 1, Sydney Theatre Company, Pier 4/5 Hickson Road, Walsh Bay
In Caryl Churchill’s Love and Information, eight actors portray a dazzling
kaleidoscope of more than 100 characters in a series of tantalising snapshots
of contemporary life. For Sydney Theatre Company and Malthouse Theatre’s
co-production, Kip Williams directs Marco Chiappi, Harry Greenwood, Glenn
Hazeldine, Anita Hegh, Zahra Newman, Anthony Taufa, Alison Whyte and
Ursula Yovich, with performances at Wharf 1 from 9 July 2015 (opening night
11 July).
A child who cannot feel pain. A man who has a secret. A scientist who
dissects brains for a living. Former lovers recalling an affair. Churchill’s
many glimpses into the diversity of existence and experience offer windows
into society’s collective consciousness, the anxieties of modern life and the
power of human connection.
STC Resident Director Kip Williams’ recent successes for STC include
Suddenly Last Summer, Macbeth, Children of the Sun, Romeo and Juliet
and Under Milk Wood. For Love and Information he collaborates with
former STC Resident Designer David Fleischer (Boys will be boys, Children
of the Sun).
Caryl Churchill is one of Britain’s greatest living playwrights. Her seminal
plays include Top Girls, Cloud Nine, Serious Money, The Skriker and A
Number. Love and Information premiered at The Royal Court in London in
2012 where it quickly achieved critical and popular acclaim. It was produced
by New York Theatre Workshop last year, garnering rave reviews.
