FULL-LENGTH PLAY (85 MINUTES). Looking for love, marriage and therapy on Central Park West. Nick Turner and Diane London make an unlikely married couple. He’s a college dropout from Flatbush, Brooklyn with a successful contracting business and an overactive libido. She’s a Yale-educated psychotherapist with a keen sense of what’s proper. After an opening scene in which we discover them at a point of crisis, the play moves backwards to explore the evolution of their fumbling relationship. Along the way we see what happens when people can’t even discuss what’s wrong; when old friends don’t help matters any; and when achieving sexual intimacy seems to require advanced acting skills. In the final scene, we’re back in the present, wondering if things can possibly work out.
