This dark, provocative, comedy play follows the one-night stand of an unlikely couple. What starts as a drunken hookup spirals into a raw, funny and deeply intimate clash of desire, fantasy and identity. As they struggle to connect physically, they unravel emotionally. With razor-sharp dialogue, electric choreography and the pulse of rock’n roll, HardLove dives headfirst into what lies beyond lust. One night. Zero rules. Just dark, colorful desire.

The American/Turkish production is adapted by Esin Ileri and Miray Besli from the original Turkish play by Anil Can Beydilli.

Reviews

  • “It’s not at all hard to love ‘HardLove!’ One fantastic, funny hour.” -Thinking Theater
  • “Flawless! Blurs lines between intimacy and performance, comfort and risk, what is normal and what is considered deviant.”- Theatre Beyond Broadway
  • “Bold, darkly funny, and unexpectedly tender. A funny, poignant hour that leaves its audience pondering not only these two characters, but the mysterious machinery of desire itself.”
