FULL-LENGTH 2-PERSON PLAY (95 MINUTES). The need for love is universal, but sometimes our search leads us to addiction instead. In this play, two men of different generations embark on a rocky affair that ping pongs between passion and rejection. Brian Fields is a 47-year-old senior corporate executive in the process of coming out and divorcing his wife. Curtis Leary is a seductive 22-year-old underemployed recent college graduate. As a newcomer to the gay scene, Brian is unsure what to make of Curtis’s mercurial behavior. For his part, Curtis has mastered the art of charming and attracting older men but keeps undermining his own need for intimacy.
