Trials of Love (The Comedy of Eros)

The Mother Wolf Club Present 'Trials of Love (The Comedy of Eros)'.

Witness the first case in recorded history where Love itself stands trial for its many and grievous crimes— defended, terribly, by the Greek god Herpes.

Imagine Judge Judy meets The Odyssey.

Under Love’s bad name:

Romeo and Juliet bled,

John the Baptist lost his head,

and Bon Jovi went multi-platinum.

This madness ends now.

COURT WILL HEAR THE FOLLOWING EVIDENCE:

• The siren, Laura Lie, who lured men to their deaths with her objectively terrible love songs

• The champion of chastity and courtly love who’s just after a one knight stand

•A step-by-step reconstruction of the Peacock Spider’s mating danse macabre

• The science that turns pair-bonded prairie voles into love rats​

• A police sketch of love sourced from the audience, drawn by forensic artist 'Picasshole'.

Have you suffered a crime of passion?

Received a Moonpig video valentine?

Endured a situationship longer than the Trojan War?

Submit your testimony to Love’s growing rap sheet — it will be performed live as a diss track by Afro Ditty and the Greek Chorus.

Desire is in the dock.

Should it be convicted of reckless endangerment and the use of embarrassing pet names?

Or acquitted by reason of insanity?

The audience will serve as the jury in this chaotic courtroom epic.
