Wallace, the middle-aged owner of the shop, is about to bid a reluctant farewell to his long-time lady friend, Claudia, who is going off to Canada to care for her ailing sister

Both Wallace and Claudia have been previously married and while everyone in town,including their own children, is aware that they are a perfect match, Wallace, particularly seems unable to articulate his true feelings

Counterpointing the relationship of these reluctant lovers is the affair between Wallace's son and Claudia's daughter being a much lustier arrangement, but, in its own way, marked with equal indecisiveness

The interplay of these four very believable and endearing people, abetted by the hilarious woes of a recently widowed friend, leads on to the cleverly devised resolution of the play - where things are set right in a most unexpected and theatrically inventive manner

Set in a small town in eastern Tennessee, this lively, warm -hearted Off-Broadway success treats love among the young, and not so young, with gentle humor and perceptive understanding

"This artful charmer is an offbeat love story about two longtime friends too timid to become lover." - NY Post
