Love Song

New Ambassador's Theatre, London to 17 February 2007

Beane is an exile from life – an oddball. His well-meaning sister Joan and brother-in-law Harry try and make time for him in their busy lives, but no one can get through. Following a burglary on his apartment, Joan is baffled to find her brother blissfully happy and tries to unravel the story behind Beane's mysterious new love Molly.

The European premiere of John Kolvenbach's romantic comedy stars a cast of Hollywood's finest. Cillian Murphy (Batman Begins, 28 Days Later, Red Eye, The Wind That Shakes The Barley), who received a Golden Globe nomination for his performance in Breakfast On Pluto, plays Beane. Beane's sister Joan is played by Kristen Johnston, who twice won an Emmy for her portrayal of Sally Solomon in 3rd Rock From The Sun. Joan’s husband Harry is played Michael McKean (This Is Spinal Tap, The Producers, Best In Show) and Neve Campbell (the Scream films, Wild Things, The Company) plays love interest Molly.

Funny, enchanting and wonderfully touching, John Kolvenbach's offbeat comedy Love Song is a rhapsody to the power of love in all its forms.
