WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Written and directed by Nikolai Khalezin, Discover Love is a love story based on real events. The show is based on real facts from the life of Irina Krasovskaya, whose husband was kidnapped and murdered for lending assistance to the democratic body of Belarus. The story follows a wife's reaction to the news of her husband's murder: the shock, the realization, and most powerfully the loss of a love that continued to blossom. Discover Love is the 11th production created by Free Theatre.

Runs in repertory with Being Harold Pinter and Zone of Silence. Click here for a complete schedule.
