If love is so great and powerful, why do so many of us end up unhappy with the people we love?

Little l Big L is a personal drama about Sofie and the people in her life whom she loves. The scenario explores her different relationships with her husband, her lover, her friend, and her children.
The central character, Sofie, will rotate among the three players, so the group collectively creates Sofie’s story and her challenges. The story unfolds through a series of key moments in Sofie’s life, where one player takes on the role of Sofie, another plays her relationship partner, and the third embodies Sofie’s emotional reactions. The scenes delve into the idea that, even when people love each other and want the best for one another, they may still fail to truly connect.

A central mechanic makes it challenging to bridge the gaps between characters in the scenes. The scenario is about attempting the difficult task of betting on love—even when it seems destined to fail—because the alternative is giving up on it altogether.
