The work deals with Jack Gurney, a member of the upper class who inherits his father's position of Earl. Jack's aristocratic family expect him to use his new position to advance the household's wealth and power, but Jack believes he's the "God of Love" and wants to give the money away. Through increasingly brutal means, his family attempt to cure him of his liberalism with hilarious and terrifying results. Through a darkly satirical approach, the work explores the themes of class difference and the complexity of the human. Director and TDPS lecturer Christopher Herold has relished the chance to direct the show that is, in his words, "the kind of work creative artists hope to do."
