Crazy Love is a Strangely Romantic Comedy, a refreshing take on love, feminism, chosen family, queer identity, & acceptance that celebrates women speaking their truths & men loving each other.
Crazy Love, The Film, is an adaptation of the Play which premiered in NEW YORK CITY May 2024 at American Theater of Actors to Acclaim. This hilarious comedy follows Céline as she opens up to her husband about her affair and challenges their monogamous relationship and their complacent lifestyle. Her husband, Tom, and lover, Augustus, discover their own hidden passions through their love of Celine and eventually each other.

“Crazy Love, despite the hilarious antics, has a reliability under the surface. Between the jokes lies a familiar, genuine desperation that befalls many living in the modern world of chaos and insecurity. All three of our heroes just want to be understood and seen, to be loved and looked after, and to belong somewhere” (Catalan, Jim, Arts Independent)
The Story
Celine is a wild card in the deck of life, a bouncy irrepressible spirit who yells all of her wants and desires as if daring the universe not to listen.
She is married to the slightly uptight Tom, a working man and a weekend philosopher who sees it as his responsibility in life to provide for Celine. But Celine does not see fidelity as part of the contract, and strikes up a situationship with Augustus, who gives her all the excitement and passion that she perceives Tom incapable of.
After Celine opens up about her affair and introduces Tom and Augustus, Tom at first condemns the love triangle he didn’t sign up for, but he and Augustus unexpectedly bond over lengthy weed-smoking sessions in which they discuss life, the universe and everything Celine.
Soon even their burgeoning bromance begins to slide beyond the platonic. They grow closer as they find themselves deciding together how to best care for the runaway train heading towards a brick wall that is the woman they both love.
