SEASONS OF LOVE is a wide-ranging discussion of the hit musical Rent by Emily Garside, a British researcher and playwright. The story of composer Jonathan Larson, who died of a brain aneurysm on the night of the final dress rehearsal for its Broadway opening in 1996, has become part of the story of Rent, which had a twelve-year run and over 5,000 performances.
