ALL WE KNOW OF LOVE & FIRE IS A NEW MUSICAL BY ABS WILSON AND WREN MIED ABOUT LONELINESS, LOVE, AND HOW WE DEAL WITH THE DARKNESS AROUND US. SET IN A LIMINAL FOREST GATHERING WITH DECEASED POETS SAPPHO, EMILY DICKINSON, AND SARA TEASDALE, LOVE & FIRE INVITES ITS AUDIENCE TO SIT IN THE DARK AND ENGAGE WITH THEIR DEEPEST WORRIES AND FEARS.

THIS PIECE LIVES AND BREATHES WITH THE LIGHT, AS IT SERVES AS THE KEY DEVICE OF THE DRAMA - THE FIRELIGHT OF THE CEREMONY THE POETS ARE ENGAGING IN IS WANING, AND THEY ARE DESPERATELY TRYING TO KEEP THE FIRE ALIVE THROUGH SONG.
