Love is a Concept Invented by Poor People

by Anna Tatelman

Two people who have connected via online dating meet in person for the first time.

“ Fantastic dialogue with a set of circumstances that really make one think. What are the agreements we make to get what we want. Tatelman really draws you in to what her characters are thinking. A intellectually and morally challenging play. I would love to see it done! ”

“I was surprised where this play went, and I loved it. Such a sharp and biting look at a transaction where both have their eyes wide open. The dialogue was well-paced, natural, and thought-provoking. EXCELLENT!”

Debra A. Cole
award-winning playwright, The Wrinkle Ranch

“Terrific. There’s a lot going on in these ten pages. A familiar situation, but a bold concept and wonderful dialogue.”
