Item description from seller

Paperback. 'People are capable of anything. Including this. Including you.'At their twenty-week scan, an expectant couple's lives are changed forever.Compassionate, unflinching and painfully funny, Guess How Much I Love You? is a story about impossible choices and enduring love. Luke Norris's play opened at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 2026, directed by Jeremy Herrin and starring Rosie Sheehy and Robert Aramayo.'Utterly contemporary and entirely real, crackling with the cut and thrust of everyday conversation. The play is superbly written, never losing either its tension, its humour or its ability to involve the audience in [its characters'] searing set of choices. Guess How Much I Love You? is a play illuminated by love. It takes an extreme version of the fears facing every couple who have ever tried for a baby and examines it with compassion and sensitivity. it shines a light on ordinary people faced with extraordinary circumstances and lets them live on stage' WhatsOnStage'Gut-wrenching. a masterclass in fire-hosing emotion. exquisitely excruciating. A bad writer can render grief cheaply; a good one such as Norris can expose its tangled, selfish, monstrous devastation' Telegraph'All sorts of agonies have been seen on [the Royal Court's] stage over the years, from Edward Bond to Sarah Kane and beyond, but few have been quite so intimate as this. it has a cumulative power. the last half hour moved and gripped me entirely. this smartly observed, cannily constructed, beautifully performed play will stay with me' The Times'Harrowingly powerful. hard to watch but impossible to tear your eyes from. It's as bleak as Beckett but also brutally funny and agonizingly empathetic. Norris knows how to compose dialogue that addresses the unsayable but also embraces the unsaid' London Standard'Agonising and absorbing. strings together the most raw, most intensely private moments, like the barbs on a length of razor wire. a sort of gloriously profane hymn to hope and human resilience. the writing also exudes a profound compassion. Shattering, and in its way, quite beautiful' The Stage A compassionate, unflinching and painfully funny stage play about an expectant couple whose lives are changed forever at their twenty-week scan. Premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 2026, directed by Jeremy Herrin. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …
