What do the seven sections mean?
The sections mean the sections most important time periods in her life. This is what it represents. This is why you can’t change the order of the seven sections.
The play asks us to consider how meaning is constructed and to participate in the process. The script has few stage directions, the characters are not gendered, the scenes can appear in a different order, and there are some random scenes which can be inserted anywhere in the play. This gives any director and company broad scope for creative input. Love and Information is a kaleidoscopic play of short scenes addressing contemporary issues about knowledge, technology and communication, and our capacity for love.

Information
The word information is a noun. The noun means, facts provided or learned about something or someone. The purpose of an information system is to turn raw data into information that can be used for decision mailing in an organisation.Many information systems are designed to support a particular process within an organisation or to carry out specific analysis. Also information is the resolution of uncertainty it is that which answers the question of what an entity is and thus defines both its essence and nature of its characteristics. However information could be a simple sentence such as I own a dog called brownie.
Overall the theme of the play was knowledge of an affair. Which is pointed out very clearly in the scene called affair. Where one character tells another that they saw their significant other go home with someone else. Grand themes that cross over the drama are unpretentiously grounded in everyday life. Always at the forefront in staging cutting-edge contemporary drama, Churchill is no stranger to the Royal Court, which is a bastion of new theatre writing.
