Description
An eclectic mix of writers explores one of the most important human emotions.
Ten short plays; encompassing romance, heartbreak and some adult themes; each one is a very different perspective on love.
David uses 'the machine' to revisit his old memories - he wants to pinpoint the exact moment he fell in love.
But when it malfunctions, it catapults us into the stories of a variety of people, all of whom are attempting to make sense of love.
