The Four Senses of Love
written by Arthur M. Jolly
The Four Senses of Love is my latest short play, and has not yet been produced.
You could present the world premiere - Contact me!
Love may be blind, but in The Four Senses of Love, it has more to overcome. CALDWELL has a hypothalamic disorder that has deadened his sense of touch. He has grown up unable to physically connect with anyone - until he meets MELITA at a support group for the sensory deprived. She's been hiding the fact that the has no sense of taste.
If you're interested in this - I'd suggest reading the free monologue from this play - which may give you a sense of the humor. It's from the moment where Melita talks about trying to drink a latte to try and fit in with some new friends. It's called "Hot Water", and it's available for free here!
