Romance: 2 Comedies

by Tom Topor

For 2 men and 1 woman. This pair of romantic comedies is a real delight. Here to Stay tells the story of a husband and wife who are hopelessly inept bank robbers. The play takes place during the depression, and it turns out the couple have been robbing banks to earn enough money so they can have a baby. But Not for Me is about a couple who are splitting up and have come to their accountant's office to divide their possessions. Unlike the couple in Here to Stay , this is an urban, sophisticated, well matched couple, but love in the 80's is just not the same as love in the 30's
