This is the second of two short, complementary plays, Winners and Losers.
In the first play, the lovers are a young couple preparing for their final school exams and their imminent wedding. The girl is pregnant. Although they promise each other happiness, their deaths by drowning save them from a more likely destiny.
In the second play [this one], the lovers are older, but their passion, at first, is no less real. It is their marriage that brings its share of compromises and unhappiness.
