Young love can be brutal. When a sweetly romantic teenager named Pinky appears at the local bowling alley, nerdy high-schooler David is instantly smitten. After joining David’s eccentric circle of brainy, oddball friends, Pinky reveals her life-long quest to find P.C., her nickname for Prince Charming. Determined to be the one who sweeps Pinky off her feet, David launches an outrageous scheme to prove he’s the real P.C., a plan involving treasure hunts, kidnapping, and a battle against the forces of evil. Of course, every love story has two sides. Performed as a pair of simultaneous but overlapping monologues, the grown-up David and Pinky take turns telling their version of what happened, all those years ago.
Pinky (female) 40+, any ethnicity
David (male) 40+, any ethnicity
Though written for two actors, who tell overlapping monologues that occasionally fuse together for dual-actor scenes, this play has been performed by a cast of six, with some of the background characters written to be performed by David and Pinky as they tell their sides of the story. In the COVID-era, this is a perfect play for two actors who are already in each other's "bubble," and provides a tour-de-force opportunity for actors to play multiple characters.
