"A Bench in the Sun"

by Ron Clark
"Be careful what you wish for" is always good advice, especially in love. The old adage is tested to its comic limits in Norm Foster's "The Love List," Foster's cleverly constructed script takes aim at aging singles and contemporary dating services by imagining what might happen when one man gets the chance to order his dream date and actually have the order filled. Leon and Bill write up a list of qualities defining the perfect woman, and much to their surprise, she appears. This hilarious and thought-provoking play examines the quest for perfection.

Harold and Burt, longtime friends, live in a retirement home and spend their days on a bench in the garden bickering. A once famous actress has just moved in, giving them something new to argue over. When they learn that the home is about to be sold and they will have to find a new residence, the three join forces to prevent this upsetting development. "Very wise, very moving, but most of all, very funny." Mel Brooks.
