Love and Information

A.C.T.
415 Geary St. San Francisco

Fast-paced is something of an understatement when describing Love and Information, which presents the lives of 140 characters -- played by a handful of actors -- in 57 brief and memorable scenes. Some of the scenes focus on the debilitating nature of depression while others are laugh-out-loud funny, but they all show different perspectives on the ways we try to make sense of the avalanche of information we receive every day. Written by renowned playwright Caryl Churchill (Top Girls, Cloud Nine), this witty and kaleidoscopic play -- filled with moments of joy, sorrow and beauty -- from American Conservatory Theater marks the very first production at San Francisco's brand-new Strand Theater.
