Head/Heart is an explosive double bill of short new plays exploring love and loss in the 21st Century.
Two of the most exciting voices in new writing create dovetailing pieces themed around head and heart for a summer tour of studio spaces.
With video art and original music, Head Music by Elinor Cook (under commission with the Bush Theatre) and Heart in Mouth by Daniel Kanaber (nominated by OffWestEnd as one of 2010’s most promising playwrights) are short, sharp shocks of total theatre.
"I used to love your music. And now it’s just like - like my enemy"
With music no longer the food of love, discordant harmonies abound in this comic, disordered love story.
Heart in Mouth by Daniel Kanaber
"Nowadays we mostly pine after girls and call each other gay"
Fueled by overactive hormones and unrequited desires, this funny and tender play about teenage love charges towards an unexpected climax.
