(TEN MINUTES) Jill and Curt are strangers looking at Valentine's Day cards in a department store. They start conversing as they marvel at the bad writing, and slowly begin to realize they might like each other in the process.

    A sweet love story between two strangers who have no time for artificial sweetness. Perfect for a company putting on a night of Valentines Day plays.

    A lovely two hander that’s very touching. Two strangers, while shopping for Valentines Day cards reveal quite a bit about themselves. I found this play really very moving. The dialogue is truthful and revealing. Actors will love this one. A gem of a play!

    This well-crafted short play packs a big punch. Who doesn’t hate shopping for Valentine’s Day cards? Two likeable, intelligent young people share their thoughts on love, bad writing, and Gertrude Stein. The dialogue is witty and well-conceived, and I would love to see this staged. Bravo!
