  • Summary

  • by philosopher Greg Scorzo. LISTEN TO IT AS A FULL LENGTH FEATURE FILM FOR YOUR EARS or in Parts 1-6. During this unique listening experience, we are taken on a journey through the turbulent love life of our protagonist Joe, via his romantic relationships with two different women, Janet and Lorraine. This is done by eavesdropping on real-time exchanges between the 3 characters. How to navigate that journey, the listener has to decide on their own. Beware, this is not a happy gallop through a RomCom. Love resists knowledge about love, because we master love by doing it, rather than theorising about it. Yet there is a paradox - bad ideas about love can make us do it much worse. In the domain of love, ideas are relevant, even if comprehensive knowledge is still impossible. Is Unconditional Love good? Is Conditional Love bad? After all love resides in the mystical, unconscious and divine realms - in our wildest dreams and worst nightmares. LOVE BEFORE COVID is written, devised, directed and scored by philosopher Dr Greg Scorzo. It stars Daniel Ashman and Sarah Dalzell and is narrated by Chris Conway and produced by Lizzie Soden. Greg Scorzo's debut novel 'Love Before Covid,' traumatic (sur)realism at it's best. An experimental and extreme collection of real-time dialogues, traversing a complex moral maze of how love is being impacted by gender politics in these polarised political times. Exploring the nature of love and drawing focus to the dark side of romance, procreation and sex, it deals unsparingly with unpredictable behaviour, abuse, depravity and forgiveness. To find out what healthy love could be, this book explores what it shouldn’t be. "Where love rules, there is no will to power, and where power predominates, love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other." - Carl Jung Available from Troubador Publishing https://troubador.co.uk/bookshop/contemporary/love-before-covid all good bookshops.
