David loves Pinky. Pinky likes David. They are both big fans of Cocteau's "La Belle et La Bette." When Pinky gives David the Herculean task of somehow "sweeping her off her feet," he takes up the challenge the way any teenage D&D obsessive with a strong belief in love at first sight would: by recruiting his friends to help him stage an epic real-life fairytale. Performed as a pair of simultaneous but overlapping monologues, two 40+ adults, a writer and an actor, take turns telling their version of what happened between them all those years ago.
