First performance PROJECT Arts Centre Dublin 5th May 2011
I have known
What it is to be loved
To be held so close
And so tightly
That you cannot breath
Or let go…
They say love is... what you make it… two hearts, two souls, two bodies merging to become one. Passion, trust, desire, longing - a raging fire that just has to be quenched… a life's work.
It's the reason we do anything and the reward for all we do. Finding the ying to a yang, the other half of a whole. Love is the source of life. It's the only reason to live. Its why we breathe…
Performed by Patrick Byrnes
A number of years ago a friend brought me a copy of “By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept” by Canadian Author Elizabeth Smart – it fascinated me – my friend thought it could be a musical or a play ? – I stared at it again and again loves it and wondered how it had been written and how could it be staged. I did not find a way but slowly discovered my own voice – and now I think this is an answer – Elizabeth Smarts’ book is not for staging but I hope this text finds the same resonances and takes its audience on a similar journey into the heart in a theatrical language
