Really True Romance

Really True Romance

1f/2m

Erin makes a quick stop at the library on her way home to pick up a little light reading for her evening. She hopes to have a few minutes to herself (and her fantasies) after she's put the kids to bed and done a million other chores. But just when she thinks she's found the perfect romance title, a buffish dude named Carlton Sherbourne appears from somewhere in the stacks. Carlton is prepared to sweep Erin off her exhausted feet, but it turns out that Erin's dreams are a bit more realistic.

Really True Romance was inspired by Dave's tenure at the London Public Library, where he had an office just behind the romance literature shelves (and was often very surprised at who was accessing the books there.) Really True Romance premiered at Chicago's Theatre 733 in February, 2016. Since then it has been produced at the Port Hope Arts Festival and a number of other ten-minute play productions.
