Theater Event in Norfolk, VA: Same-Sex Marriage on trial in ‘Love v. Duty’
From Hampton Roads.com:
“Love v. Duty” is a “what if?” drama that goes to, and beyond, the Supreme Court in our consciousness and, perhaps, our conscience. Written by Norfolk resident Frankie Little Hardin, it is receiving its world premiere presentation at the 40th Street Stage on weekends through Feb. 28.
With at least two, perhaps three shocking plot twists and a good deal of moral probing, it is worth a visit. Hardin has concocted a behind-the-scenes scenario that concerns the first same-sex-marriage case to be heard by the Supreme Court. (It’s fictional.)
The script condenses the legal proceedings into a wonderfully written sequence of “rehearsals” for the hearing. It stoops, briefly, into sermonizing. The script is more successful as a legal suspense piece than it is as a personal drama.
