- Background
Ellen Cribbs (the author and director of "I Love You! And You... And You...") appeared at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2006 with her two plays "Seven Points for 'Love'" and "Voices in the Dark". This time at the Fringe, Ellen is not only the author, director, and producer of the production, but also a member of the cast. Ellen was inspired to write this play about true love after finding her own true love in 2006 while at the Fringe. Her boyfriend, Charles, was impressed by "Seven Points for 'Love'", so surprised her with a present after seeing "Voices in the Dark" (even though they were strangers at the time). The couple started dating even though they lived 3,000 miles away. Ellen moved to the UK to be with Charles, and he motivated her to write another play for the Fringe this year.
This is the first production from this group of performers. All of the members of the company are current or graduating students from the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. In 2006, Ellen Cribbs had a successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival after bringing a group of students over from Ithaca College in New York. Ellen continued her studies by taking a year-long course for overseas students at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. The structure of the story for "I Love You! And You... And You..." was born from the fact that the students on her course consisted of one male and ten females. This play was written to fit the group dynamic. Additionally, the characters in "I Love You! And You... And You..." were written especially for the company members based on their talents/skills/personalities.
