“Love and Information” is a quite experimental text from the renowned British playwright Caryl Churchill. As suggested by the title, it revolves around the subject of human relationships in the ‘information society’, and is made up of seven sections, each with seven scenes. With over a hundred characters, defined only by their speech in each fragment, which are invariably short and episodical, it’s a text conceived for the era of Youtube, Instagram and Twitter.
