LOVE is an unapologetic exploration of love and addiction. Tanya, Annie and Lorenzo are from the bottom of the heap. They’ve been abused, they’re abusive, and they’re difficult to like, let alone love, but it’s love in all its distorted and mutated forms that holds them together.
The first Australian artists ever to be invited to the Teatro Biennale di Venezia in 2019, award-winning writer/director team Patricia Cornelius and Susie Dee bring LOVE and SHIT to fortyfivedownstairs for limited seasons before traveling to Venice to present at the 47th International Festival of Theatre.
