The Invention of Love

“This Invention proves that even a quasi‑biographical snapshot of an esteemed literary lion, at its essence, can (and should) be relatable to each and every audience member.”

“The Map has managed something rather wonderful: it has made an intimidating work feel intimate, made scholarship feel sensual, and made a dead poet’s inability to say what he wanted to say feel, after all these years, like something we can hear.”

“I left the show with the feeling the playwright's work is always capable of delivering in good hands: buzzy, wide awake, like my brain had been washed in seltzer.”

“I recommend it for anyone who loves the work of words and seeing a show that holds the human being in high regard as an intellect and a creature who loves, and loves deeply.”

“In this rare revival, Zachary Elkind’s direction and David Greenspan’s mesmerizing performance transform Housman’s final journey into a poignant meditation on love, memory, and the price of keeping desire hidden.”
