First performed in
1987, Europe is one
of Michael Gow’s earlier plays, but to pass it off as merely an ‘early work’ is
to do the play a disservice. Presented by Slip of the Tongue as part of the Seymour Centre’s Reginald Theatre
season, Europe takes you on a
grand journey of the heart to the cities where love lives larger and, well,
more romantically than perhaps anywhere else on the planet. But at the same
time, it asks us whether we are truly content with what we have, or whether we
need to chase something else, something bigger to make us feel alive?
