Turtle Dove
2019
Everyone loves a love story.
Turtle Dove explores true tales of the sometimes bumpy, funny and sad journeys we take with our relationships.
Made from interviews with people of all ages and sexualities, their voices are weaved into the musical soundtrack and their honesty and secrets are brought to life through dance and theatre.
This duet is a heart-warming, candid and witty show that celebrates all forms of love and touches on life’s heartaches. Experience the stories of strangers who will soon feel like friends.
“An emotive, powerful and relatable performance”
— Vicki Hargreaves, Creative Programme Producer at The Point, Eastleigh
