You Promised Me a Love Story is a new writing drama by Sala Beckett / Obrador Internacional de Dramatúrgia from Barcelona, Spain. Starting from the question of how to write a love story in the 21st century, the play explores encounters, desire, and intimacy through fragmented storytelling and multiple perspectives.

About the Performance

You Promised Me a Love Story begins with a simple question: how can a love story be written in the 21st century?

The play unfolds through fragmented scenes and multiple perspectives, moving between different places including Rome, Paris, Poland, and a train carriage. Behind these stories is a writer attempting to create a love story.

Rather than presenting a traditional romantic narrative, the work examines contemporary ideas of love, intimacy, and the familiar patterns through which romantic stories are often told.
