Act
One - Saturday
|
Jeremy is stuck out of town
on a business trip for Roy's ad agency, trying frantically to get
back in time for his nuptials. Gaby is anxious for him to return.
Sarah, who has been engaged to Ben for six years, is weary of his
failure to commit to her. Ben has been idealizing a kind of love
that does not really exist. Roy and Rose, lovers for many years,
just enjoy themselves (and others!). By the end of the act, Jeremy
is still MIA, Gaby's frantic, and the other two couples have switched
partners. |

Act Two - Sunday
|
At Gaby's request, Ben has been
feverishly writing the vows for the young couple to exchange at
the ceremony. In completing the task, he has a catharsis and is
able to commit to Sarah, finally saying to her what had been previously
impossible: "I love you." Roy and Rose unite. As grizzled
veterans of the game of love they play so well, they realize that
ultimately they belong together. Jeremy makes it back in the nick
of time. He and Gaby are wed. |
