ABOUT THE PLAY
In a first for the company, Castlemaine Theatre Company has joined forces with local production company Montello Productions to bring Caryl Churchill’s postmodern play, Love and Information, to the Phee Broadway stage this November and December.
Known for pushing the boundaries of contemporary theatre, Churchill’s play explores notions of love, knowledge and human connection in an increasingly fractured digital world. The play draws us into a world reminiscent of the ways we communicate online – fleeting encounters, fragments of information, moments of connection and everything left unsaid.
Constructed through a sequence of fragmented vignettes, the play invites audiences into the intimate inner realm of an everchanging series of characters. With titles like ‘Dinner, ‘Sleep’, ‘Affair’ and ‘Ex’, each scene’s very real human situation resonates with familiarity while challenging perceptions.
Directed, produced and designed by the Montello team of Iz Little, Brendan McDougall and Caitlin Soennichsen, and ably supported by CTC’s Georgie Heydon, the production brings together generations of first-time performers and experienced actors in an ensemble cast of 45, so you’re sure to recognise someone in the cast!
‘Love and Information’ offers a theatrical experience unlike anything you’ve seen, so come and experience it for yourself.
