Tunnel of Love is a kaleidoscope of love stories. Couples in different places within the tunnel try to make sense of each other and, at the end: they emerge. "My plays are broken, jagged, filled with sharp edges," writes Mee and Tunnel of Love is no exception. Mee himself, upon learning of the production, wrote to the company: "I'm way, way happy to know you're doing Tunnel of Love." Director Mark Sitko has long been drawn to Mee's work to the radical accessibility of his collage form and to Mee's place at the forefront of what Sitko calls the most exciting era in American theatre, the New York scene of the 1980s and 90s. For this production, Sitko hopes to bring that same New York experimentation to Los Angeles, setting the play's love stories across the past century of the city's own life. "We all know we are in a time of disconnection forgetting that we're all in this together," says Sitko. "This play looks at the idea that maybe there is just one everpresent love, between all of us, that must be taken care of. At the crux, the play is about the many obstacles that get in our way our past traumas and struggles, what we carry into our relationships. How we can get through all of that to find pure love and understanding." The play cycles through a series of vignettes that move through time, through lifetimes, through what connects us and breaks us apart. The deeper we go into the tunnel, the closer we get to what's real in love, and in ourselves.
