A Narrator tells the story of his first love story through the use of the old, hand-written notes that he and his girlfriend used to write back and forth to one another. Through the reading of the many notes, Matty & Mae discover love, experience the palpable joy of obsessive infatuation, they argue and fight, share a first kiss and some terribly embarrassing dancing, they break up and they get back together. All the while they forge an unbreakable friendship.
When Matty discovers Mae has leukemia, Mae teaches Matty a lesson he'll carry with him for the rest of his life: how to deal with the death of a loved one and eventually love again.
The Narrator assures us that even young love can be powerful and meaningful. Time is not promised to any of us and everything in life is fleeting; except love.
***Minimal set and tech required. Can fit on any size stage.***
