Objective Love Megan Terry

A lyrical study in the ways, perhaps misguided, that He and She love. "OBJECTIVE LOVE, Megan Terry's new play dwells on the phony appearances upon which modern romance depends ... Actors float in and out of the performance as if they were clouds. The only recurring figures are named merely 'He' and 'She, ' perhaps representing the American Every Couple ... There is no lack of love in the world, Ms Terry reflects. But it's channeled to other things: mindless jobs, motorcycles, clothing, mathematics, things. Her words are sometimes as abstract and striking as the props that surround them. At times the work is poetically vivid ... Other times they are hilariously funny ... OBJECTIVE LOVE, in short, is an exciting melange of images and words that seems light years more contemporary than any other theatrical stab at the subject." -Roger Catlin, Omaha World Herald "OBJECTIVE LOVE, a witty and visually striking study of how people love others as objects, not as individuals." -J W, Sunday Nonpareil
