  §  Dramatis Personae Robert (m), 38, jilted Claire in high school; Claire (f), 38, single, attendee at high school reunion; Woman (f), 38, _____.

  §  Synopsis “Claire has waited twenty years for her high school reunion. Single, she still dreams of Robert, the man who jilted her. Their meeting is bittersweet and touching.

  §  Comment “A surprise ending shows us, nothing was what it seemed. Robert was there, . . . only in Claire's imagination.  •  One scene. The two women should be in simple evening dresses, the man in a suit. An optional table and chair would help. Dance music in the background adds to the moment.”

  §  Themes high school reunion, illusion, love, rejection, time.
