"Cornelius never stoops to romanticise her characters’ plight and, even though veins of grim humour run through the play, she never ridicules them for their choices."
"In Cornelius' capable hands, what could have been the last gasp of a genre in decay becomes a miraculous but painful resuscitation — pure Narcan."
"Love is a complex examination into the contexts of love; of sexual love, parental love, homosexual love and abusive love. It demonstrates the disastrous effects that can come of the warping of one of the most powerful emotions known to humanity."
"Cornelius's text interrogates these characters' various wilful delusions about love with gorgeous, theatrical language (many soft, subtle internal rhymes) that remains firmly grounded in grimy mundanity. Despite the all-too-real tragedy of these horrible, pointless lives, there's not a single note of sentimentality and much comedy amid the ever-sliding degradation."
