Lovesong (Abi Morgan, Red Stitch)

I liked the device of having the lovers played - often on stage at the same or overlapping times - in their old age by one pair of actors and in their younger growing together and apart by another, and I appreciated the quietness and lack of showiness to the writing. It's a nice play, reasonably well staged (but with varying performances), but didn't have any special spark to it for me.
