| LOVEPLAY is about a woman, Sarah, who loses
her great love, is betrayed by her best friend, and ultimately discovers
a greater love that is just and transforms the lives of people she touches.
Her transformation provides the heart of this intriguing new play. Prentice’s
work, which uses evocative music and visuals, “paints a life-and-death
world of the unseen we create and carry until the final confrontation with
The Ghost Paradox: The only way to banish a ghost is to embrace it,”
according to Prentice.
Award winning playwright and internationally acclaimed Pinter scholar
Penelope Prentice has had plays performed in New York, Washington, Buffalo,
London, Australia, Ireland, Greece, Turkey and China. Honored with an
Edward Albee Foundation Fellowship, a MacDowell Fellowship and two New
York Foundation for the Arts Sponsorships, she held five Playwright-in-Residences
including the Chautauqua Institute and New York’s New Perspectives
Theatre.
One of the five who planned the First International Women Playwrights
Conference, Penelope Prentice has two books on England's foremost living
dramatist, Harold Pinter, including The Pinter Ethic: The Erotic Aesthetic
and poetry from her book Capturing the Light, set to music by the distinguished
young American composer Eric Ewazen, premiered as Original Light at the
Juilliard School at Lincoln Center last year.
Love play is a Sponsored Project of The New York Foundation for the Arts.
