Love, so the poets, the romantics and the occasional purposeful song-writer will attest, is indeed a many splendid thing; it is the joy of lost reason, of the possible loss of everything you thought about yourself and the conquering of the soul. Love isn’t about the physical act between people, love is what you are willing to do for another human being, what you are prepared to sacrifice to make someone happy, to look upon their face and hope for all the colours that a rainbow can provide, love is the most reckless and untrustworthy emotion and we should strive to see it happen more often and with whomever.

The Unity Theatre To Host Joanne Sherryden’s The Rainbow Connection.

Some people can become the most unlikely of friends and the friendship between two very people is the subject of The Rainbow Connection which is being performed at the Unity Theatre from February 21st to Saturday 23rd February.

Joe is agoraphobic and anti-social whereas Shelly is just the opposite. Joe likes the George Peppard and Audrey Hepburn film Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Shelly sees a black-and–white film and she thinks there is something wrong with the television.  Joe has experienced a recent tragedy. Shelly is hanging on the dubious promises of the controlling Bernie. Joe is gay and Shelly isn’t. To say they don’t have much in common would be an understatement.
