A precious, poignant moment of love and loss amidst the chaos of a haywire proposal. I love the personification of the monkeys, and the areas in which the monkeys and humans long to be more like each other, when in fact their dialogue reveals that they are more alike than different.

A fantastic and thought provoking romantic comedy on love and trust with monkeys! It's wonderful!

Set in the forests of Assam, India, the play takes a droll, farcical look at romantic relations between a pair of humans and a pair of gibbons who speak excellent English including quotations from Shakespeare (except that when the humans finally interact with the monkeys, neither understands each other). Who is observing whom, and can one species trust and communicate with another? Underneath the wit and fun, this romantic comedy (where the monkeys fall in love and the humans break up with each other) poses interesting questions about how much in common we humans have with other species.
