Lovesick

T0532318148
"I didn't ask for this feeling. It's invasive, it's infectious, I don't want it, so I'm asking you - very politely - to medicate me." Sarah needed a heart transplant. Maggie was her surgeon. The operation ran smoothly, but there are now complications. This is a journey of identity and transformation. How to face death, and come out the other side. How to find your true self in a body with foreign parts. And how heartbreak and lovesickness - with no known cure - can make you grow.

Production details

Originally scheduled for performance in April 2020 and postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, this ‘Covid edit' version of Lovesick distils the essence of the full-length play and delivers it in one concentrated shot – heightened, raw, emotional. The relationship between patient, surgeon and donor is laid out on the operating table, ready for dissection.
