2 TRUE FOR 4 by Herb Isaacs

£3.00

This comedy uses the concepts from the Improv game, “shadow character”. George is African-American and runs an inner city community agency. Susan is Caucasian and is applying to work for him as an intern. Each has an alter ego character on stage who represents a parental viewpoint. The alter ego characters are each only seen and heard by the character to whom they are related. When George and Susan meet, there is an instant attraction, but the alter egos try to interfere with their relationship, expressing their own biases about it.
