Wisconsin Premiere of a new play written and directed by Kim E. Ruyle.

The first date between Maeve, a PhD psychologist, and Rob, a blue-collar welder, turns into a weekend whirlwind of sensuality, conflict, and surprises as this unlikely couple explores attraction, compatibility, and love later in life. Their verbal swordplay slices away layers to reveal the inner lives of these vibrant mature characters. Sometimes amusing, other times painful, their banter takes them to a place they could not have predicted and leads to a stunning conclusion.
