New York Playwright Debuts New Piece About the Tangled Realities of Love

Told through the eyes of three couples of different ages, experiences, orientations and philosophies the piece explores just how incredibly strange and upside down loving can be.

This isn't your sappy rom-com where the lines are cheesy and sex is set to a Mariah Carrie soundtrack, nor is this your experimental Spanish film that makes you break out in cold sweat and take a vow of celibacy. No, this is truth, or as close to it as we can try to get. This is a play about what falling in love, being in love and falling out of it really feels like. It is an emotional immersion into the wacky, weird, sexy and utterly heartbreaking realities of romantic relationships.

Kotryna Gesait, an innovative playwright and recent arrival from New York City is bringing a freshly alternative view into romance to Melbourne, with an all Australian cast this new play is an exciting insight into the feeling we've all sung, cried, laughed and screamed about so many times.

Only weeks away from Valentine's Day, bring your partner, your big fat crush or your single girlfriends and join us February first for one week of shows at the Butterfly Club and have all the feels, the squeals, some serious thinks, and maybe even some giggles.
