'I don't know how to want less' Confined to a remote holiday cottage on the English coast, Hazel and Robin were not expecting guests - least of all their old friend and colleague Rose, who the couple have not seen in 38 years. The three retired physicists worked together at the nearby power plant, which, after a recent nuclear meltdown, is now the epicentre of an era-defining catastrophe.

Set in a suburban alternate reality on a Friday night, Love/Sick is a realistically absurd play made up of nine independent scenes about love and loss. Shining a light on people’s minor and major shortcomings – and their (un)willingness to overcome them – it is all about new beginnings, second chances, and big emotions. About the daily madness of sharing your life with another person, and the unusual ordinariness of putting your heart on the line. About people who are desperately confident that things are going to go bad, but who are still fighting like heck to make sure that they don’t. A play about romantics. A very funny tragedy.
