Loves Divide – Now Playing at Dillons Theatre NYC

Love’s Divide, an un-romantic comedy, is a striking He said/She said series of dialogues and monologues that plumb the endless depths of love, emerging with revelations both hilarious and heartbreaking.  Now playing at Dillons Theatre,  245 West 54^th St. 

While the tone shifts effortlessly from cynical to sincere, painful to hopeful, plaintive to provocative, the audience reacts with immediate recognition and empathy – with laughter, tears and even offense. 

Whether discussing the relative merits of various sexual techniques-for example, the “Jackhammer” approach of certain over-eager Casanovas-the excruciating minutia of dating protocol, or the lingering shadow of a recently departed lover, the actors attack the subject head-on, with consummate skill and breathless candor. 

Spoken from experience and related with unfaltering conviction, this is love in all its myriad forms-a simultaneous “Screw You” and “Thank You” to lovers past, and those yet to come.
