I Want to Know What Love Is

Joyous. Sexy. Heartbreaking. Take a dizzying ride through love’s collision course.

I Want To Know What Love Is throws a spotlight on long-buried memories, bedroom fantasies, crushes and conquests. Acclaimed Queensland performance collective The Good Room asked members of the public to anonymously submit their stories of love—fragments and memories, confessions and admissions—and they’ve transformed those secret submissions into magnificent declarations centre stage.

Submission #87: "It's been years, but I still think of you and wonder 'What could have been?'"

Submission #346: "I choose to say it did not fail. It just finished." Submission #302: "Jemma forever xo"

Following a sold-out premiere season in Brisbane Festival 2014 with Queensland Theatre, the work had a subsequent sold-out return at Brisbane Powerhouse’s Wonderland Festival in 2015, and a Melbourne season at Provocare Festival in 2017. This thrilling production is now on national tour. This is for everyone who’s ever loved. Anyone who’s ever hurt. This is for you.
