Love at Twenty, a five-part emotionless inspection of passion, is a strange blend of the plausible and the surreal. Five directors, each from a different country, have contributed to this study, and the contributions are almost chaotically diverse...
...relationship between Mommy and Daddy is cruel and emotionless--only their garish costumes are alive. The cliches they trade are devoid of anything behind the words themselves. Mommy blithely, unfeelingly, says, "Our long night is over. We must put away our tears, take off our mourning ... and face the future. It's our duty."

The play itself once again emerged as an unfailingly touching, tender hymn to life...
