Three Plays: When I Love Thee Not - Pandora's Box - Jane Austen: A Monologue

by Barbara Lewis

Why do we romanticise love? In so far as it even exists beyond our own imaginations, it sustains us and weakens us, blinds us to pitfalls and traps us in relationships that defy reason and sometimes change the course of history. Down the ages, it has helped men to exert their sway over women, while they maintain the opposite is also true.Barbara Lewis’ “Three Plays” explore the betrayals and disillusionment as love sours, or to quote one of her “Maybe I really wanted him, but even then, I’ve no idea if it was actual love”.In comedy, we carry on regardless. In tragedy, our heartbreak is fatal.
