Tanya, Annie and Lorenzo are from the bottom of the heap. They’re young but already the youth has been wrung out of them. They’ve been abused, they’re abusive, and they’re difficult to like, let alone love. But it’s love in all its distorted and mutated forms that holds them together. Annie and Tanya make a pact; their love will protect them from an unloving world and it will endure. Even the dreadful and charming Lorenzo will not threaten it. Only doubt in each other's love can put a wedge between them.

Winner of the 2006 AWGlE for Best Stage Play and the 2003 Wal Cherry Award for best Australian play, "Love" is a powerful and poetic drama that draws its audience into a world where love can make you feel human even as it destroys you. Set in a world of dimly lit backstreets and dingy squats, "Love" is a searing meditation on the nature of that most powerful human emotion and the forces it unleashes.
