Weekend Comedy by Jeanne and Sam Bobrick

Peggy Jackson, a 50-ish matron, has dragged her reluctant husband, Frank, an office-supplies dealer, off for a long weekend in a remote cabin with no phone, no wi-fi, no newspapers, no television and no kids. Peggy has romance on her mind, while stick-in-the-mud Frank is dully wondering what they're going to do all weekend. Peggy finally gets Frank in the mood, only to be interrupted by the arrival of Jill and Tony, a pair of twenty-somethings. Through a mistake, they've also rented the same cottage to celebrate their fourth anniversary of cohabitating. To his wife's chagrin, Frank insists that the younger couple stay for dinner. Ultimately, the two couples agree to share the one-bedroom, one-bathroom cabin for the weekend.

They start out having a good time together, but the close quarters and the differences between the two couples lead to inevitable frictions. Frank and Peggy: long married, middle class, hard-working, taking each other for granted. She's sarcastic and frustrated; hes oblivious, irascible and complacent. Tony and Jill: mawkishly in love, well-to-do and living a free and easy life. She's earnest and idealistic; he's smug and spoiled.

What ensues is a delightful exploration of the stages of life and love.

The performance runs 2 hours including intermission.
