Her lifestyle demands the very best, so why should she settle for less than Mr Perfect? Does he exist or is she chasing fantasy? <p> § <i>Comment</i> “ A wickedly irreverent glimpse at the beguiling world of blind dates, personal ads, introduction agencies and single clubs. • The ages of the two female characters can range from early twenties to late thirties. This play has been particularly popular with schools and colleges. • Alan was born and lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. He has been involved in amateur theatre for 35 years as an actor, director, stage manager and playwright. Since his first play won the Scottish Community Drama Association Playwriting Competition in 1973, another 6 plays have won playwriting competitions. His 20+ plays have been staged over 600 times, mainly in the UK, but also in Holland, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.” <p> § <i>Themes</i> blind date, courtship, introduction agency, loneliness, personal ad, reunion, single club. <br><br><br><br> See also Alan Watt Richardson's <br><br> <ul> <li> "<a href="2m2f_tbb2.html">The Broken Band</a>," a 40-minute drama in English, set in a ruined sheiling (a temporary shelter for shepherds) close to the border between England and Scotland, September 10, 1513;
