At age 16, she tells Andrew the same thing but goes to the dance with him anyway.
At 45, Meredith and Andy have a great deal to tell each other: most married couples do.
And, even at 66, Meredith is still learning about, and from, Andrew.
This is a fine contest play because it is both easy to stage and a challenge. All eight characters -- two people at four different times in their lives -- are onstage at the same time. The result is a play about love (and hate) and the way people change each other.
