Synopsis

The first act of this play is comprised of three vignettes showing separate couples. Couples #1 is a tipsy actress and the bellboy who has bedded her the night before; Couple #2 is a gutsy Polish woman who has survived World War II and a carpenter whom she chooses to father her baby; Couple #3 is an acid-tongued columnist and his cool psychotherapist wife, who are about to split up. In act two, we meet the couples 20, 25, and 30 years later, as we learn much to our merriment how they ended up.
