Design by The Contagious Fern
One cold February night, in a town so far north it almost doesn’t exist, nine entanglements of the heart emerge in a romantic comedy of love and loss.
Falling into unexpected love.
A broken heart in a paper bag.
Free beer for the sad, not the glad.
Discovering the heart.
Opening this Valentine’s Day, nine interrelated stories about the search for love unfold under the magic of the Northern Lights.

A “charming production that doesn’t fail to have the audience smiling, laughing and rooting for the love in each heartfelt story.”
– Claire Slobodian, TimeOut Shanghai
“Utterly charming, surprisingly heart-warming and at points, laugh-out-loud funny… This is one of those productions that, try as you might, is hard not to fall for.”
– Frances Arnold, SmartShanghai
“Twenty characters falling in and out of love at the same time played by only six actors is no mean feat, but the cast make it looks easy. Serious preparation has gone into the production which results in plenty of laughter and amusement for the audience.
– Emily Aylett, That’s Shanghai
