Dying of Love, Voices of the Unrequited 

Someone once said that if you love someone and that love is not returned, then it is not love! Why is it then that some mortal souls literally feel they will die from unreturned love. This presentation is a poetic journey into the pain, humour and obsessions of unrequited love.
