Love

Love investigates what true intimacy and love means later in life. When Phoebe (30's), sets her grandmother Em (80’s) up on a blind date with Walt (80's), the two "kids" hit it off, developing a courtship role-playing game in which their past traumas get re-imagined into their present. Playing the role of their respective deceased spouses, the two elders enact each other’s pasts in order to heal the memory and process their grief. The play asks the questions: Who says women in their 80’s can’t have the best sex of their lives? And can sexual awakening open us up to accepting, or at least acknowledging past sexual trauma as a way to heal?
