That Four Letter Word

'That Four Letter Word' is a bold new production that explores the misunderstood concept of love over three short engaging plays: 'Safekeeping', 'Heat' and 'Pivot'. From a museum of memories, a tech boardroom to a couple’s bedroom, three stories unfold, each exploring the courage, complexity and beauty of loving and being loved.

In 'Safekeeping', a woman journeys through personal and collective histories, inviting reflection on the objects and memories that shape us.

In 'Heat' a couple pass a restless night confronting the strains of change, revealing the difficulty of communicating when words aren’t enough.

Whilst 'Pivot' brings us into the high-stakes world of two women entrepreneurs, as they debate the future of their dating app and the meaning of love, friendship and self-worth.

In a time of swipe culture, emotional burnout and growing political polarisation, That Four Letter Word poses a simple but urgent question: If love is an action, are we brave enough to practise it?
