Love After Love

Recommended by

  • Paul Donnelly: Love After Love

    A moving paean to grief over a lost love and to the possibility of allowing life to expand in a time of mourning. It is not about moving on, so much as it is about adding on. Making space for a new love while never forgetting the old. Emma and Sam take us on a moving journey, with echoes of the past and hope for the future from the ghost of Sam's late wife. These are three carefully wrought and thoroughly absorbing characters.

    Simple and beautiful, quick but impactful -- exactly the way ten minute plays should be. I'm truly impressed with how many layers to the relationships Jeff Perlman manages to fit in a short amount of time, and not just in Sam's relationship to his dearly departed Joannie, but in his future with Emma as well. This play has tearjerking moments but leaves you hopeful for the future of these characters' love. It would make a great addition to any ten-minute play series out there.
