Wooden Horse Productions is bringing the exploration of love and relationships to Sydney in the critically acclaimed musical, LOVEBiTES. The production depicts a song series of seven short stories about falling in love from both perspectives.

“It has some extraordinarily powerful stories that was [sic] written six years ago now and it explores all sorts of different parts of relationships. In particular it explores the idea of gay marriage being legalised and six years later, nothing has changed on that front,” says director Troy Alexander, “so I think it’s important to re-tell these stories, get more people involved, and have that shown here in Sydney.”

The original production of LOVEBiTES was staged in 2009 at the Seymour Centre and played at the Playhouse Theatre in Perth in 2010. The show has also played in London and New York. Alexander’s recreation portrays a new level of the music.

“Peter Rutherford, the composer, has a whole new orchestration. This production will have five instruments; cello, bass, guitar, drums and piano,” says Alexander.

LOVEBiTES aims to shed new light into the audience’s own relationships by letting them observe the ups and downs of others, and ultimately explore what love can be and how it can change over many years. (CT)
