LOVECRAFT (Not the Sex shop in Cardiff)
A brutally honest and uproariously funny show about the neuroscience of love and loneliness. Drawing from her own experiences, BAFTA Award Cymru nominee Carys Eleri combines smart and ludicrously witty songs (The Love Monger, Space and Time, Tit Montage) with heartfelt tales of relationships highs, lows and the downright confusing. Examining the science of hormones and why love is really all about the brain, discover how love works, why it makes us do crazy things and why hugging is the answer.
