About this show

On a barge in East London, a polycule raucously celebrates the marriage of two of its members. All the while, Max and Mila grapple with the new shape of their relationship, which now includes five more people. Love, jealousy, Cornish independence and group sex combine in this outrageous laugh-out-loud, multi-rolling show about sexual diversity and the challenges of relationships (whether they’re with one person or five). Join Max and Mila as they find their way through: it’s messy, tender and real. Love (5 ways) will leave you laughing, crying and maybe, just maybe, swinging.

  • 3.5 Stars. It’s a strong piece of work, acted very well, and it tests the boundaries of how couples struggle when faced with temptation.
