In an increasingly serially monogamous society, we all face the possibility of more serious breakups in a lifetime than ever before.
In a brand new comedy, theatre and storytelling show, Radio 4 and festival regular Rosie Wilby interweaves a rich, romantic narrative about two people connecting over a shared love of Richard Hawley music and the London skyline with their eventual breakup emails and the visits of three ghosts from our romantic future, past and present.
Although she never thought she’d be inspired by Chris and Gwyneth, is ‘conscious uncoupling’ the way forward? If we could erase our past loves as Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey’s characters attempt to do in the film Eternal Sunshine Of The Sunshine Mind, would we eventually decide against it as they do?
Rosie has previously discussed the disruptive impact of serial monogamy and called for new, more compassionate language around relationships, friendships and separations in her TEDx talk Is Monogamy Dead?, Radio 4 Four Thought piece A New Currency Of Commitment and New Statesman articles.
The Conscious Uncoupling premiered at Tristan Bates Theatre First Festival 2016 – a performance which prompted London’s Southbank Centre to book it for their Festival Of Love. The show was shortlisted, via a public vote, for Funny Women Best Show 2016 and is directed by Colin Watkeys (Jack Klaff, Ken Campbell, Claire Dowie).
