Lovesong, Citizens Theatre, Glasgow

A week before Valentine's Day and anyone who's lost faith in the power of everlasting true love should be sent on a blind date to Abi Morgan's new play.

A collaboration with director/choreographers Scott Graham and Steven Hoggett's Frantic Assembly company, it charts four decades of marriage between Maggie and Billy via two sets of actors. It cuts through the hearts and flowers to get to the real-politik of a relationship that is a mirror for some, and an education for others. Mid-life crises, affairs and seven-year itches are all intact.
