What Is Dance Show The LOve Book About?
It’s the 1950s, and a young couple have recently arrived in the UK. They are part of the Windrush Generation and feel adrift in a new country, with nothing to their name but the love they have for one another. As the pair settle in, their relationship unfolds over four decades, forming a moving portrait of love in all its forms - romance, family, friends and community- demonstrating how true love can take shape over a lifetime.
This stirring piece of dance theatre is a celebration of Black British history and features a soundtrack filled with iconic tunes from the king of UK neo-soul, Omar Lye-Fook, combining lyrical dance with soulful hip hop beats.
