Adapted and directed by Leon Rubin
Based on La Ronde by Arthur Schnitzler
Translated by Wolfgang Muench
Summer of Love brings together two moments of history: turn of the century Vienna and 1967 London. The original play La Ronde was a playful but insightful look at a decadent and wild city, controversial in its time.
This new adaptation finds parallels in London during a fascinating period of change. It was the hippie era when rock music told the stories of the time. The war in Vietnam was raging, the contraceptive pill had been legalised, the Women’s Liberation Movement was evolving, street fashion was exuberant and the generation gap widened.
The play takes place against this backdrop as various couples from different class backgrounds meet, connect and move on, and features the Level 3 students from BA(Hons) Acting in collaboration with the Diploma in Theatre Production and Management programme.
