Love Stories

Love Stories was a warm, intimate devised production presented by The Blue Room Theatre and stop drop and roll in the cosy confines of The Blue Room’s Kaos Room.

Love Stories is a series of interconnected vignettes that explore the thousands of parallel sensory worlds that exist beyond our capability of hearing, and examines what we can learn by listening to and entering the various sensory worlds around us.

Excellent storytelling from performer/devisors Eliza Smith, William Gammel and Clea Purkis is aided by music composed by Tao Issaro, installation art, animation from Ken Mayer and contemporary performance. From the tragic loss of an infant whale, through a beautifully conveyed story of baby loss, to making butterflies as therapy, and the reality of extinction, a multitude of sad, but often uplifting stories are interwoven in unique style. The audience became involved in a practical and artistic way.

Very powerful use of story and art, three strong performers who work beautifully with each other and the audience helps this well-constructed, well-directed performance piece.

Touching, thought provoking and a pleasure to watch.
