Lovesong is a beautiful and inspiring play about love, time, and memory, and tells the story of one couple told at different points in their lives, as young lovers in their twenties and as worldly companions looking back on their relationship. We see the highs and lows of this relationship as their past and present selves collide in this haunting and beautiful tale of togetherness. Past and present literally intertwine as the older and younger couples move around each other across the stage in a house full of memories of their marriage.
