When a long-married couple resorts to reading “Sex For Dummies” and books a pretentious hotel to spice up their sex-life, we know things have grown stale and routine. I’m reminded of a Woody Allan movie where a couple is seeking therapy and their answers to the question “how often do you make love” illustrates the problem. The husband replies “hardly ever – once or twice a week” while his wife responds “constantly – once or twice a week”. Lack of communication seems to be at the root of both of these couples’ problems – and genuine love is the antidote. Told with humor and honesty, this play has been enjoyed all over Canada and the west coast of our nation – we bring it to you for your enjoyment.
