Love and Other Acts of Violence by Cordelia Lynn

Love and Other Acts of Violence by Cordelia Lynn

'There is a war coming... A war that will last for a hundred years... I think it is already here. I think we've been fighting it a long time.' A young Jewish physicist and an activist poet meet at a party and fall in love. As society splinters around them, the couple's struggle to survive erupts into violence. Cordelia Lynn's play Love and Other Acts of Violence is a subversive and intimate love story about inheritance and the cycles of politics and history. It premiered at the Donmar Warehouse, London, in October 2021, directed by Elayce Ismail.
