This internationally recognized playwright has a deft and witty style in which the dialogue is paced brilliantly, and the characters are very loveable. The four pieces are chock-full of classical allusions - there's Beatrice and Benedick meeting at the gym, a literal "Deus ex Machina" in a not too distant future bedroom, a Guy de Maupassant twist on amorous memories, and an updated Canterbury "Amor vincit Omnia (including E.D.)" Tale (complete with Prioress). A boon to Boomer culture, Montley has given us texts to perform on the stage, in the parlor, even (dare I say?) in the boudoir. A thoughtful 50th Anniversary gift, or a gift-for-no-reason-for-an-old-(or new)-friend.Product details

ElderPair Four Senior Courtship Comedies Pat Montley 9781943416059 Books Reviews
A marvelous playwright has turned her pen to those "of a certain age." In four delightful short plays, she opens up the world of those looking toward the latter halves of their lives and finds the humor and the angst which she shares with us. These plays will make delightful reading for theater groups and drama reading groups in senior facilities. Some of the characters are even exploring--dare I say it--the more carnal sides of their lives. Great job and great fun for all.
Enjoyed it very much as did four others.
Four, fun, witty short plays! It is great to find plays out there for this age group.
Cresting the hill and looking for a spark of brightness? These four short plays are sure to be the whipped cream on your hot fudge sundae. Working out at the gym, dancing, making love, even taking the veil, the seniors in these funny, quirky vignettes do it all. What's more they laugh about it and so will you. Fine work by a talented playwright.
