Description
John Lordan
20-25 minute romance
1 man, 1 woman or can be staged with 3 men and 3 women
Kathleen and Gavin, once inseparable in New York, reconnect during a late‑summer weekend in her Indiana backyard. What begins as a cautious visit unfolds into a tender reckoning with old choices, lingering regrets, aging bodies, unexpected illness, and the spark that still lives between them. As they revisit the memories that shaped their lives, the play reveals how love can survive distance, time, and the fears that keep us from reaching for one more chance at joy.
This is a story for anyone who has ever wondered “What if?”—and for anyone who knows that connection can deepen, even as the years accumulate. It’s a gentle, recognizable journey that invites audiences to reflect, laugh, and maybe revisit a few of their own long‑ago chapters.
