The plays dance between intimate details and the big, historical picture, telling the story of a love affair from three different angles. Each piece is formally inventive \u0026amp; draws on a rich history of gay and queer theatre practice, whilst innovatively pushing the form forward. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis collection includes: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSo Little of You Left - This begins as a traditional poetry reading and rapidly disintegrates into physical theatre, combining poetry, children's games, physical risk \u0026amp; bold imagery to tell the story of a love affair from start to finish. So Little details the marks that love leaves on our bodies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHis Spread Legs - One year later. Tom, alone in his flat in the early hours, begins to speak. A haunting and heartbreaking monologue, inspired by the biblical Song of Songs, excavating the relationship between love, language and identity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Actor Has Told of His Pain - In this final installment, the two lovers from So Little meet again and a third character - another ex - helps to give shape to the stories they have been telling each other. A three-act play with a queer twist, about the act of leaving and being left, and coming to terms with the end of the world.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48833538621645,"sku":"9781849431705","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_58204cf2-4e1b-4173-a4c0-93aaff176a68.jpg?v=1790888522","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/the-well-badly-loved","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
