105 min

Inspired by the ageless words of William Shakespeare's classic texts, If It Be Love weaves together four portraits of varying and contrasting faces of love - the passion of Antony & Cleopatra, the tragic rejection of Ophelia by Hamlet, the haunting manipulation of Macbeth by his Lady, and the jealousy of Othello. The audience is taken on a journey unfolding in four chapters. A relationship driven by wild excitement, to loss which breaks the spirit, evoking a desperate need to regain control but leading to destruction and inevitable death.
