Tales of a Love Story - An Original Musical
Synopsis
Set in a cozy New York café, ‘Tales of a Love Story’, follows the intertwining stories of three characters—Rhys, Violet, and their guide, Anneke (Niki)—as they navigate their own unique journeys of love. Rhys grapples with the ten-year anniversary of his father’s death, wrestling with the unexpected depth of his grief. Violet rediscovers her voice while facing challenges in her relationship with her girlfriend, Hina. Meanwhile, Niki finds herself reflecting on love as she navigates a rocky marriage and the anticipation of her unborn child. This is not just a tale of romantic love, but a celebration of love in all its forms— familial, platonic, unrequited, self-discovery, and non - traditional relationships. As their stories unfold, one question lingers: Will love prevail?
