John Clifford

10 minute comedy
1 man, 1 woman

This laugh-out-loud comedy offers a fresh look at the problems of senior dating. Olive is having a bad day when she is interrupted by Stanley, a brash fellow who seems to have mistaken her office for the nearby  Senior Dating Service. The verbal duel becomes increasingly hilarious.
And while Olive is a strong woman with a fun character arc, male older actors find Stanley’s charm, flirtations, and attempts to win her a delight to bring to life on stage.

I still get more comments on John Clifford’s plays than any others we’ve done. They are funny, warm, wise and compassionate. Senior Theatre director

A ‘never-fail’ show!
