Modern love, perfectly captured

ROMANCE today is not what it was a generation ago. Concepts of gender equality, gender fluidity, climate consciousness, wealth inequality, universal rights and others have changed the way we date and mate. What's remarkable is how the rituals of love can constantly shape-shift to accommodate the desires of every era. If there is passion, there is a path.

And that is what English playwright Duncan Macmillan does so well in capturing with his play Lungs.

Though it was written in 2011, Lungs is still an extremely perceptive and relevant play about a woman and a man trying to navigate their jumble of personality differences, passion and primal instincts, so that they can stay together as a couple.
