CHARACTERS

GUY

male, 40s-60s, youthful looking but might suddenly look gaunt or unwell, in the wrong (right) lighting.

LISA

female, late 30s-50s. A warm and caring person, but not inclined toward any kind of sentimentality. Loving, and, matter-of-fact, in equal amounts.

There are some additional production notes at the end of the play.

STAGE SETTING

mainly empty except for a number of taped-up moving boxes, and a small pile of clothes. Other signs of someone packing up and moving. A wall with wainscoting or a chair rail, some specific-enough detail to suggest a particular room – maybe the common room of a hospital (probably a building from the early 1900s up to the 1950s or so). A practical electrical outlet in the wall and a dimmer switch, both in the ordinary places. A phone charger is plugged into the outlet. A doorway, somewhere off to the side and back, either practical or a free-standing theatrical door, perhaps with plants or small shrubs on either side of it. A calendar with all the actual days up to today’s performance date X-ed out. The calendar is hung low enough so that someone in a wheelchair could write in it. Some other ordinary things may appear in the set.
