L.O.V.E.R. portrays one woman's confessions of what goes on behind closed doors — and between the sheets. L.O.V.E.R. is the new play for anyone who's found love or is still searching."

L.O.V.E.R. is written by Robbins will be directed by Carpenter, joined by Jo Winiarski (scenic design), Jeanette Oi-Suk Yew (lighting design), and Jane Shaw (sound design). The run will take space at Pershing Square Signature Center's Alice Griffin Theatre.
