Beane is invisible to his career-focused sister and her cynical husband and his life is a shrinking, darkening world...until Molly appears. When Beane discovers Molly, suddenly all of the love songs make sense. This off-beat romantic comedy is a West Coast Premiere from hot young playwright John Kolvenbach. The play arrives at MTC directly from its successful West-End run in London and its World Premiere at Chicago’s prestigious Steppenwolf Theatre Company. Bring your favorite person along because Love Song is sure to send you out into the Marin night smiling and in the mood for a little romance.
