LET THERE BE LOVE by Mrinalini Kamath
Directed by Andrew Tsao
A modern mash-up of D.H. Lawrence’s Sons and Lovers and the Greek myth Eros and Psyche, Let There Be Love is a play about online dating and modern matchmaking, and our cravings for—and fears of—intimacy and connection.
The readings will take place on Thursday, January 18th at 6:00pm in the Cabaret Theatre in Hutchinson Hall. This is a FREE event.
