Following an acclaimed sold out run at the Menier Chocolate Factory, Love In Idleness has transferred to the West End for a limited run from the 11th May 2017 to 1st July 2017.
Love In Idleness tells the story of eighteen-year-old Michael who returns to Canada after a four year absence during the war, full of youthful idealism and liberal tendencies.

Upon meeting, Michael and John instantly butt heads, with sparks flying and relationships being tested, everyone is set to learn some difficult lessons in love.
