Loveplay by Moira Buffini.

Loveplay is a historical comedy following a tangled trail of seductions and sexual encounters on the same location in London over a period of 2,000 years from 79AD to the present day.

Ten scenes set in ten different eras feature a plethora of delicate characters who are a poignant reminder of how, throughout history, the search for love has so often been depressing and volatile.

The audience is transported from Roman Britain, through Saxon times before entering a Medieval convent where nuns argue over the ideas of love.

They witness Renaissance actors confusing reality with the play they are rehearsing, cringe in sympathy with 1960s would-be swingers and end up in a modern day dating agency where the manager is losing control of her own love life.

Following a hugely successful 2016 season, the Musical Theatre Joint Honours Company is proud to present this exploratory and timeless play. Brought to you by the same team that produced a sellout production of Footloose in April 2016.

This amateur production of Loveplay is presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Ltd.
