Playing Love is a comedy of manners about faith, devotion, sex and luck, written by Aidan Monks and produced by a People You Know Production. Set on Proposal Day at a sleepy seminary, four theologians on the brink of ordination find themselves caught in a sexual square-dance where feelings run riot, intelligence falls victim to desire, and games of wit, chance and smarts can bring time to a standstill. The show takes on the Fringe following a run in St Andrews. Performed at Bedlam Theatre, it runs 60 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A sharp, farcical comedy of manners set among seminary students on the cusp of ordination — witty, irreverent and full of unexpected twists. Playing Love is a lively choice for anyone who enjoys theatre that fizzes with comic energy.
