Inspired by the amorous antics of Shakespeare's A Midsummer
Night's Dream, Crazy for Love explores the dynamics of human attraction and
love. What draws us in the first place? What keeps us together?
A play with five songs, Crazy for Love creates a parallel universe
inhabited by two long-married but almost fatally fantasy-prone shrinks, their
assistants, a manic ornithologist and a parrot. As all search for true love, or
an unreasonable facsimile thereof, seduction games are played, jealousy is
aroused and many feathers are ruffled.
Music leads the lovers on, sometimes inflaming, sometimes
soothing, their supersized egos and untamed ids. And flower power, which you
thought was OUT, comes back IN with a vengeance.
