GIVE ME YOUR LOVE Joins Lineup of Great Ideas Performance Series 2017
By: Julie Musbach
This October, The Big Anxiety - festival of arts + science + people and The Seymour Centre present Give Me Your Love, bringing the return of theatre legends Jon Haynes and David Woods (Ridiculusmus) with a funny, fragile and profound fable based on groundbreaking medical research and real-life war testimonies.
Ex-soldier and budding rock star Zach has withdrawn into a Cardboard box in a kitchen in West Wales. His friend Leuan offering a form of recovery through a capsule containing 3,4 methylenedioxymethamphetamine, with which he claims to have successfully treated his own post-traumatic stress. Parachuted into their recently fractured pasts, Zach and Leuan swing between dreamboat heroism and woozy enlightenment via a head warping exchange on patriotism, conflict and supermarket shopping that will tickle, move and appall you in equal measure. Give Me Your Love is the second instalment of Ridiculusmus's three-pronged investigation into innovative approaches to mental health. Informed by the latest scientific research, it explores the healing potential in altered states of consciousness.DATES: 31st October - 4th November
