Media Reviews
Abi Morgan's love story, spanning the 40-year marriage of Maggie and Billy, is as tender as the bruised peaches that fall to the ground in the garden of the elderly couple's US home... Crying is not mandatory, but only the hard of heart will remain completely unmoved. - Guardian

Deeply moving, potently mixing memory and desire as the young and old couples interact in passages of superbly eloquent choreography 4 stars - Telegraph

This portrait of ageing and enduring love tugs at the heartstrings - Independent

A ravishing piece of work... The sadness of mortality, the sense of loss, is balanced by the delightful quirkiness of Morgan's text, which is by turns playful and illuminating 4 stars - Arts Desk

Like love itself, Lovesong can take your breath away - Observer

A really beautiful, tender work... an unforgettable, elegiac drama - British Theatre Guide

Lovesong is compelling, understated perfection. Where so many writers relentlessly hammer the message home, Abi Morgan lets subtlety, and often what is not said, be a more telling voice... both poignant and uplifting... [a] beautifully constructed piece... a hugely memorable performance. - The Stage

An atmospheric, gentle, humorous tear-jerker... BAFTA winner Abi Morgan's play is bittersweet and a good supply of tissues may be needed - whatsonstage.com
