About the Play

Going against his best instincts, a scornful private detective decides to help a strange woman recover her memory. When the trail leads him into his own dark past he is forced to dig deep to let love back into his life, while finding a way to win the impossible day. A film noir, post-apocalyptic hybrid with original music and songs, Tom Form and The Speed Of Love explores one man’s attempt to bring humanity and compassion to a world seemingly devoid of either.
