Two brief plays tied together by their themes of love and lust.
TWIN BILL consists of two plays tied together by their themes of love and lust in mature men and women. In "I Love You, I Love You" and out-of-work writer and a married woman meet and fall in love in Alcoholics Anonymous. Through an anguished affair they learn a valuable lesson in spiritual growth and responsibility. In "My Life With Women," an unusual drama of the absurd, a lustful old man is visited by the ghosts and memories of the many women he has loved over a lifetime.
Excerpt
At Rise: Late afternoon. Both sides of stage lit. Bright sunshine through window stage right, view of trees and distant house. Shadows and sunlight through windows stage left, view bleaker. MAN and WOMAN stand on either side of imaginary wall facing each other, talking on phone.
MAN. It's sheer hell not seeing you as much as I'd like.
WOMAN. I know.
MAN. I love you.
WOMAN. I love you, too. (SHE gasps as car door slams off-stage)
MAN. What's the matter?
WOMAN. Harry's home!
MAN. So early?
WOMAN. Yes.
MAN. Goodbye.
WOMAN. I love you, I love you. (Hangs up but stays at phone, immobile, as stage right darkens)
