2 Male 2 Female
At the end of a relationship, two characters meet in the basement laundry room of an apartment building
Four actors step in and out of the roles of Carrie/Cary and Frances/Francis to create the story of four breakups: a man leaving a woman, a woman leaving a man, a woman leaving a woman and a man leaving a man
The gender permutations reveal the simple fact that rejection and lost love are universals
In parting, the characters learn important truths about themselves and move, not without bitterness, toward a fresh start
