If
My Heart Were A Camera I'd Shoot True Love
A battle-weary photojournalist returns from a war zone.
She's lost the man she loved, but holds on to her last photograph of
him. Her work is gold - but she says she'll never take another
photograph. The political machinations of a publishing empire,
the 'rules of engagement', whether military, professional, or personal;
and themes of love, loss and mechanical memory are explored in this
new play by Dan Horrigan.

Embrace my photography and you
embrace the madness of the world with pity. You could call this pity
love. It is the strongest type of love. It faces the void and refuses
to be destroyed by it. That is why if my heart were a camera I would
shoot true love.
