YOU + ME: An Exploration Of Deceased Identities and Falling In Love In Spite Of It

by Mattie Tindall

This short, quirky play centers Me and You – an unlikely pair that start as strangers and end up as lovers. You find Me at a grave mourning “my womanhood”, who has recently died. You ask questions that make Me think, make comments that make Me laugh, and show Me what it means to fall in love.

    This play really warmed my little old heart. A look what it's like to say goodbye to our past selves and embrace the person we currently are. You and Me are such great characters and their dialogue feels so natural. This play got to some really deep places in such a short time. Produce this play for your short play festival. Produce it especially if your festival is focused on stories for, by and about members of the LGBT+ community.
