The Verb, ‘To Love’

Aria Entertainment is taking over the Old Red Lion this May to present a revival of the renowned Portia Coughlan by Marina Carr and the world premiere of a new musical The Verb, ‘To Love’ by Andy Collyer.

The Verb, ‘To Love’ explores, in an intimate musical, the complications of changing relationships, and the power of different kinds of love; ‘The verb ‘to love’ has so many meanings…’.

Simon is lost, abandoned by James, his partner of twenty-three years. He is alone for the first time, until he finds Ben, the great love of his life, a young man seventeen years his junior, and finds himself rejuvenated and fulfilled in a way he never knew possible. They share the complications of falling in love, undergoing upheavals and experiencing change, until it all falls apart. But does it?
