FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 10, 2014
HOW DO WE MAINTAIN OUR REAL LIVES IN THE
INTERNET AGE?
Production of Caryl Churchill’s Love and Information
Explores Concepts of Privacy and Relationships in the Digital Era
BRYN MAWR, PA – The Theater Program of Bryn Mawr and Haverford Colleges (Mark
Lord, Chair) presents Love and Information, directed by Catharine Slusar, a Barrymore
Award-winning Philadelphia actor and director and a faculty member in the Bryn Mawr
College Theater Program. Renowned English dramatist Caryl Churchill is an American
Theater Hall of Fame inductee known for her use of non-naturalistic techniques and
feminist themes, dramatization of the abuses of power, and exploration of sexual politics.
Love and Information is Caryl Churchill’s newest play, was first produced in London at
the Royal Court Theatre in 2012, and is heralded by The Guardian as the “play that
everyone should see.”
Love and Information explores what happens to our brains, our personal connections
and our privacy as we are besieged with information. We are, minute-by-minute, hour-byhour, bombarded with information from computers, phones, and texts. How do we keep
our minds active, our feelings alive and our privacy intact while navigating the information
superhighway? Caryl Churchill’s play asks us to question the role of technology in our
lives by presenting over 50 scenes exploring these concepts of rapidly eroding privacy
and memory, and our desperate thirst for knowledge (and cat videos).
Love and Information opens the Theater Program’s 2014-2015 season, with six
performances (November 14-16 and 20-22) at the Hepburn Teaching Theater (Goodhart
Hall, Bryn Mawr College). Opening night is Friday, November 14.

About the The Theater Program
The Theater Program of Bryn Mawr and Haverford Colleges strives to foster creative
collaboration between students and faculty, and its productions have won accolades from
area critics for years. Of a recent production, Philadelphia Weekly wrote, “The entire
production is as professional—if not more so, simply in the students’ evident commitment
to these roles—as anything you might see [in the city]. Clearly Lord and Iwasaki respect
these students and their vision.”
