To Love and Be Loved in Return

A man and woman eating dinner confront each other about an affair the other must be having. As the dialogue passes; the truth becomes more and more vague and the relationship that was originally implied takes on a new dimension.

To Love and Be Loved in Return

  • Cheryl Bear: To Love and Be Loved in Return

    A powerful exploration of connection as others make us question our choices, but perhaps find something stronger exists. Well done.

    There is a wonderful perception shift in the play where you realize what you think is not what is happening, and this is a great pleasure for an audience!

  • John Minigan: To Love and Be Loved in Return

    "To Love and Be Loved in Return" is a beautifully constructed spiraling in toward the middle of an affair--but not the affair you think you are hearing about. It's a devastating, clear portrait of people who, in the midst of losing their sense of love, are finding one another and finding a truth that, maybe, will sustain them in through the lies they have been told. Lovely, surprising, carefully wrought work that gives us a final moment in which one of the characters feels exactly what we feel watching her.
