“Vera, are there any writers that don’t drink?”

“Yes, G., there are. But they’re very boring.”

​

Meet Vera — a migrant playwright with a pen in one hand and an existential crisis in the other. She’s trying to write a play, but stories, like suitcases, are hard to unpack.

Was it love? Was it limerence?… Or just too much wine?

​

Limerence is a sharp and soulful comedy where reality wobbles, identity shapeshifts, and home is more a concept than postcode. And here is G., who keeps showing up in her mind - and in her script. A delicate dance between fiction and reality, and the question isn’t just who she’s writing about, but who she’s really writing for.

​

Inspired by real conversations with Ukrainian, Moldovan, and Romanian immigrants in the UK, Limerence is a fictional play for anyone who’s ever felt out of place, in love, or one step away from a meltdown.

A heartfelt and hilarious meditation on belonging, identity, and the stories we tell to survive.
