It's actually "Love and Information": 100 characters, 57 scenes. Disjointed. As far as I can tell, mostly unrelated (although I haven't seen/read it yet). Will report back after the performance.

    Over 50 interchangeable scenes, 14 actors portray more than 100 characters desperate to negotiate a world obsessed with a ‘need to know’ and unlimited access to information. What really matters; where are the silences; how do we sort reality from the manufactured noise? Funny and poignant, Love and Information examines our technology-driven culture, celebrates our spirit and offers an ode to love in a disconnected world.

PS That other play you linked looks really interesting, though. I'm reading the article now. (My only prior exposure to Churchill was that a classmate read a few of her plays as part of a year-long literary analysis project. Mine was on Stoppard.)

You can't go wrong with Stoppard as a brilliant playwright, or Tony Kushner for that matter. My favourite Stoppard is Travesties.
