Synopsis

A receptionist and a CPA, two single people who have just met, feel living in New York City is holding them back.

Linda and Albert try to make a go of it in Davenport, Iowa, and in Los Angeles.

No longer together, they meet back in New York.

Linda has become a dynamo with killer instincts and is now a major player in the movie business.

Albert is falling further and further down the ladder of success and, although his love for Linda is overwhelming, he slowly realizes he is no match for her.

This bittersweet play is by the author of Norman, Is that You?, Murder at the Howard Johnson's and many other popular comedies.

Press Reviews

"Sam Bobrick [...] is one of Broadway's most unheralded humorists. However, his plays, which appear to be the stuff of simple-minded sitcom on the surface, have something serious to say about relationships, values and the quality of life [...] It's a laugh a line."

— The Sun Journal
