Whether love fosters recovery, discovery, or resilience – it’s messy. In Katie Yee’s Maggie, or a Man and Woman Walk Into A Bar, a woman grapples with the end of a marriage due to an affair during a breast cancer diagnosis, where she reflects on the relationship in conversation with her tumor that she names after the other woman. In Alejandro Varela’s Middle Spoon, a polyamorous married man’s perspective on his relationship and society’s views are turned upside down when his boyfriend breaks up with him. In Eimear McBride’s The City Changes Its Faces, emotions begin to boil as a love affair faces its first major test in 90s London. Moderated by Sarah Blakley-Cartwright, author of Alice Sadie Celine.
