Jeanne and Boyd try to spice up their twenty-fifth anniversary by role-playing as a lady of the evening and her client on a street corner on the other side of town, when they run into an old college friend - and then the law.

This play doesn't get done very often - which I think is a pity, and I'm not sure why. It's charming and funny... but perhaps it's because many people don't want to think of their grandparents having an active sex life. The last production was during the shut down, part of the Virtual Short Play Festival by the Anchorage Community Theatre.
The play premiered as part of the Simply Short Play Festival at the Te Puke Repertory Company in Te Puke, New Zealand, May 2018
