SYNOPSIS

George and Jennie are in love and are getting married. There are just a few “red flags” 1) They’ve only been dating for two weeks; 2) George’s beloved wife of twelve years just passed away; 3) Jennie has just gone through five years of counseling culminating in a messy divorce. Neil Simon’s semi-autobiographical Chapter Two examines what it means to truly love someone else and asks whether finding a soulmate can happen more than once in a lifetime.

Character Descriptions:

George Schneider: (male presenting, 40s-50s) a successful writer mourning the passing of his late wife, George is struggling to move forward. After several disastrous blind dates, George fears he will never love again. This changes very quickly after meeting Jennie – with whom he is instantly smitten. 

Leo Schneider: (male presenting, late 30s-40s) George’s younger brother. Talkative and jovial, Leo is determined to see George happy again. He is responsible for setting up George on a handful of blind dates. In the midst of all the romance, Leo finds himself having an affair with Faye. 

Jennie Malone: (female presenting, 40s-50s) a recently divorced actress, Jennie is practical and sentimental. She isn’t quite looking for romance after her tumultuous marriage but finds herself opening up to new love after a brief encounter with George. She has a good head on her shoulders and wouldn’t open up for just anyone. 

Faye Medwick: (female presenting, late 30s-40s) Jennie’s friend. Dizzy and neurotic, Faye is invested in the success of George and Jennie’s relationship. Her investment may be a distraction from her own rocky marriage. Clueless and charming, she finds herself having an affair with Leo.
