  §  Synopsis “Nick is back in his old apartment picking up some of his things and catching up with ex-wife Anne. They discuss what led to the uncoupling, and their memories differ greatly. Breaking up was easy for Nick, until he realized how popular his ex-wife was becoming. Now, he has second thoughts about the divorce, and she's flying high. As Nick says, ‘This divorce isn't working out!’

  §  Comment “The single scene requires simply a table and two chairs. Clothes should be casual.  •  This play premiered in New York regional theatre, at StageWorks. TSI will stage it Off-Broadway, in New York City, September, 2002.”

  §  Themes breaking up, divorce, memory, popularity, reminiscence.
