"Handsome" (Scenes 0 - 7)--a one act romantic comedy, 11/16/12
3 parts Complete MatureAs crushes go, Elaine Marshall's romantic crush on her best friend Rodger Calendar is a doozy-and doomed! Forty year old Rodger is tall, dark, and handsome-naturally befitting the six foot four inch muscular leading man hunk of an actor that he is. Elaine is forty five years old, 160 pounds, and five foot four inches tall-very nicely womanly curvy-with long silky brunette hair that she usually styles up and out of the way in a loose twist. But, Elaine knows that she's older than Rodger is, she's not as 'pretty' as Rodger is, and she's not British like Rodger is. So it's "three strikes and you're out"-in Elaine's mind--to use one of her American idioms. But, Elaine is grateful for Rodger's close friendship forged from them working on different artistic projects together and becoming best friends over the past few years. Elaine just needs to 'move on' with her life so that she can find romance for herself-especially since romance is supposedly her writing genre. And, Elaine has an attractive face and a pleasing disposition. So, Elaine has hope in her quest to find love for herself. She just doesn't expect to find love where she does.
