The Four Senses of Lovepremiered in 2010 in Chicago, at the n.u.f.a.n. ensemble's Garden of Eatin' Festival.

It has since been produced in New York at the Spoon Theatre, by Bite-Size Plays at the Brighton Fringe Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, received an "Excellence in Writing" Award at the Corner Cone Festival in Ohio, played at the Fine Arts Association in Willoughby, Ohio, the Future Ten Festival in Pittsburgh, the Lincoln Square Theatre in Chicago and the American Globe Theatre in New York.

Love may be blind, but in The Four Senses of Love, it has two more senses 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. Funny, poignant, and hopeful, The Four Senses of Love has been produced more than any other play of mine. So far.

Chicago Theater calls it "Unique, lip-smacking, gourmet surprises.... The Four Senses of Love written by Arthur M. Jolly is a hilarious coupling of two members of a sensory-deprived support group. Under the direction of Brandon Boler, individually and collectively, Jonathan Helvey and Lisa Cordileone sarcastically work through their affliction with no senses. " Read the review by Katy Walsh.

The Argus calls it "An unusual romance... the perfect way to start the day." Read the review here.

There's a free monologue from it called "Hot Water" available here. It's from the moment where Melita talks about drinking a latte to try and fit in with some new friends. The play has not yet been published, so if you're interested in producing or performing this play, please contact me directly.
