'There is a war coming... A war that will last for a hundred years... I think it is already here. I think we've been fighting it a long time.'
A young Jewish physicist and an activist poet meet at a party and fall in love. As society splinters around them, the couple's struggle to survive erupts into violence.
Cordelia Lynn's play Love and Other Acts of Violence is a subversive and intimate love story about inheritance and the cycles of politics and history. It premiered at the Donmar Warehouse, London, in October 2021, directed by Elayce Ismail.
Cordelia Lynn's other plays include Lela & Co. and One for Sorrow (for the Royal Court), and versions of Three Sisters (Almeida) and Hedda Tesman (Headlong/Chichester).
