    Lermond yet again brings alive a cast of diverse characters, deliciously mixed with a twisted plot to make a wonderful Read. Our heroine chooses not to be a part time widow and Granny, and a full time Bon Viveur! excellent stuff Vivian!

    What an engaging romantic romp through the lives of sixty-somethings. Sixty may be the new forty but as Lermond’s characters discover - love, sex, and romance are here to stay no matter what decade you’re in. I laughed outloud about the Italian curses (all true) and smiled at the honesty of the desires of women (also true). May we all be romancin’ into the ever after. Rich roles for the actors and a rich experience for the audience.

    If you're looking for a charming romp, this fits the bill. Featuring lead roles for mature actors, Mary is a leading lady full of spunk and sass. This is a welcome break from plays about 20 year olds (no offense!) and reminds us that life and romance are still a vital part of later life.
