"Love/Sick" by John Cariani

John Cariani’s LOVE/SICK is a fast-paced comedy made up of nine cleverly twisted and laugh-out-loud short plays. Set on a Friday night in an off-kilter suburban world, the show humorously explores both the joy and the heartbreak that come with love.

Each scene focuses on a different couple facing a turning point in their relationship. As the couples progress from first encounters to breakups and beyond, the individual stories connect to form a larger narrative, tracing the full arc of a relationship’s life cycle.

Whether you’ve fallen in love, stayed too long, or had your heart broken, LOVE/SICK is instantly relatable. Filled with flawed lovers and hopeful dreamers, it’s a smart, heartfelt comedy that speaks to the romantic side in all of us — even when love gets messy.
