The two couples in this play are complete opposites, except for the fact that their children Annabelle and Gavin are about to be married.
Anabelle’s parents are Veronica and Edward who like to believe that they are a “cut above”. Well, Veronica believes that, whilst
Edward does his best to keep his wife’s feet firmly on the ground.

Veronica likes the good things in life, she is a snob with nothing to be snobby about: apart from occupation, status, names, the Bridge Club and used car salesmen!!!!
Edward likes a quiet life and likes nothing more than reading “Caravanning Magazines” He has just been made redundant,but is not too  concerned about it.
They are both in their fifties (That’s playing ages) Think Margot and Jerry in “The Good Life”

Sharon and Kevin are the parents of Gavin, a car salesman.
This couple are about the same age as Veronica and Edward. These two have plenty of money. However, there are no airs and graces about our “Shaz” and “Kev” they are very down to earth: in fact so down to earth that their feet get muddy and call a spade a spade. 

Sharon shops at Chanel in Paris and enjoys their villa in Menorca but our Shaz doesn’t know quails eggs from real eggs.

Kev works hard for a living and treats his staff really well. He’s the local lad that made good. 

The play is about a blind date between a man and a woman who are serially unlucky in love and who meet through an advertisement in a dating magazine. The play follows what happens during the evening of their blind date. There are parallels in both of their life histories and the play ends on a hopeful note for both of them.

JONATHAN aged sixty plus ( playing age 50 to 70 ). He is desperately trying to look (and be ) younger than he really is. He has had a broken engagement and subsequently a series of unsuccessful encounters with women. He seems to be mediocre or fail in everything he does but he is ever optimistic and keeps trying.

WENDY aged 60 plus (playing age 50 to 70 ). Wendy is an ever hopeful divorcee who is desperately looking for love. She is humorous and kind and like Jonathan she has had a series of unsuccessful romantic encounters. She seems willing to humour Jonathan in some of his quirks if it will lead to love.
