Summary

In Love Person, love transcends sexual orientation, physical attraction, and social structure, resting instead on the ways in which we communicate and how that communication bonds or breaks us. The play is constructed through four Sanskrit love poems that influence and reflect the characters’ journeys. Free, a deaf woman in a relationship with Maggie, accidentally falls into a deceptive email dialogue with her sister Vic’s lover Ram, a visiting Sanskrit professor. Free and Ram discover a connection grounded in an affinity between their two languages. Vic and Ram also begin to fall in love, as Free and Maggie’s relationship struggles to survive
