Two by Two in Love

One male actor and one female actor each play two parts that's the challenge and fun of this one-act play. All the action takes place in front of a simple park setting. First a teenage boy and girl discuss their young love, he the romantic, she the practical one. She leaves (late for work) and the actress returns as a middle-aged woman, who gives the young romantic some sage advice on love from her lifetime experience. The boy rushes off to save his girlfriend's job and the actor returns as a middle-aged British man who is wooing the older woman. Their scene of second love is both funny and touching. The woman leaves to get ready for their date and the girl returns, upset by the erratic, if well-intentioned, actions of her boyfriend. The man listens patiently and then encourages reconciliation. In this simple and touching play, people talk interestingly about the nature of love and demonstrate it, too. This is a great competition piece!
