A humorous, affecting and quietly empowering work that fully convinces in its artful facsimile of real people sharing experiences both ordinary and precious.
The New York Times
I Heart Alice Heart I takes
public displays of affection to dramatic new heights.
Meet Alice Kinsella and Alice Slattery - two gentle and retiring
Irish sexagenarians who stole a kiss in the condiments aisle of a
local supermarket, got spotted by a theatre director, and were
coaxed into sharing their life-long love story with a live theatre
audience.
The result is a stirring and captivatingly intimate piece of
documentary theatre that traces the Alices' story of deep and
abiding love for each other. Over cups of tea and slices of pound
cake, the unlikely couple describe their life dramas - chance
meetings, infidelity, battles with cancer, overseas trips - in a
way that tugs at humanity and warms the hardest of hearts.
Written, directed and performed by Amy Conroy with co-creator
and actor Claire Barrett, this fresh, hilarious play from
defiant new company HotForTheatre gained plaudits from the audience
at Abbey Theatre and will bring out the heart in you.
