Overview

Synopsis

Beck is moving out, and taking one last look at the home she and her ex had built. In this walk down memory lane, we see her relationship with Jon in two halves. These halves freely intertwine onstage, allowing us to enjoy remembrance of "firsts", and follow the twists of seconds. As scenes weave back and forwards in time, we see a relationship lose its joy and slowly fall apart.

Note: JON and BECK may be played by people who look similar to or exactly like JONATHAN and REBECCA (as in the case of casting twins), or may look completely different. JON and BECK may be only slightly older than JONATHAN and REBECCA, or they may be much older. Each sort of casting in regards to these combinations states a different message about relationships and the message of the play; and each individual production may explore this in their own way, uninhibited by character description.
