This is a very funny comedy by the author of "Curtain Up! (Respecting Your Piers)" and the West End hit "Glorious"! It includes four sets of characters, four crucial moments. Jonathan and Wendy are on a blind date and hoping to get it right this time even though they've never got it right before; Barrie is not really interested in women but Janet sees that as no reason to stop trying; Shelley and Bobby have decided to holiday in Spain to finalize their divorce whilst drowning in cocktails; Angela is marrying for the third time to the dismay of her brother Toby and amidst a barrage of bad omens and a dress resembling a parachute. This is a gloriously funny examination of the chaotic world of love, relationships and why the grass is never greener. "Duets" is an hilarious tribute to the strength and madness of the human heart. Though written to be produced in its entirety with a cast of up to M4 F4, "Duets" may also be performed as four separate one-act plays, each with a cast of M1 F1.
