About relationships between couples, starting and ending.
Set in a cafe at least at the start
Props: 6 chairs, several A4 papers strewn around (written poems in a cafe)
Contemporary clothes as costumes, with fez-type hats
Very good-looking young cast
Full house
Excellent production, lighting and sound very good (names given but could not remember, no brochure)
Superb dialogue, some one-liners drew massive applause
Each couple kept morphing into another.
Touches of excellent comedy, which served to break the tension.
Some mystification for me.
