A quick play read: I was intrigued by the description, about Kate (the play's heroine) curating "a museum exhibit about the history of romance and love", but it turns out that other than a few surprise references to Eleanor of Aquitaine there's very little about that history and quite a bit about Kate going on disappointing online-dating dates and expressing very basic views about the greatest romantic movies of all time. (Pretty sure by "of all time" she means "that came out during my formative years", but okay.)
Ultimately, this felt a lot like a romcom, just in theatre form rather than cinema form. That's fine, of course, but neither what I was really expecting nor what I'm really looking for in plays. (But then, not what I'm usually looking for in movies, either!) Perhaps a better fit, to read or to watch, for those more invested in romcoms.
