Love & Hate Story

I was not sure what to expect when I walked into the venue to see Stories of Love and hate.
On stage, there were but a few white boxes surrounded by the usual black curtains that separate the stage from the backstage. 
As the lights went off a woman came on stage and began dancing provocatively to the music as she greeted the audience.
She then approached a woman on the audience and seductively does a lap dance for her.

But after the initial surprise of this act, the plot became clear as Valentine, a Christian Priest walked on stage, followed shortly after by Cupid. This, in fact,
was a short storytelling act about the origins of probably the most well known holiday in the word: Valentine’s Day.
Cupid is sick and tired of love and romance, of the frivolity of the holiday, of the pressure men go through to find the perfect superficial gift for their loved ones. But then Venus and Valentine set to the task of reminding him what Valentines is about, and how it all started.
