Monash Uni Student Theatre (MUST, MSA) presents

Prickly Love by Gita Bezard

This snappy contemporary Australian work is making its Melbourne debut at MUST!

Prickly Love is a funny and beautifully dark play about clichés, cacti, and the complexities of love in our current world. The Valentine's rush of one-day relationships, finance bros, and breakfast breakups, belies the importance of staying connected, and how love remains after all this time.

Director Tiara Pires describes the show as a “com-rom” theatre experience, exploring “the thoroughly relatable absurdity of who we are as people and how we treat one another.” _________________________________________________________________________________________
