From the B Street Theatre comes a story of a fight for love with a sparking sense of humor and a touch of romance, “Old Love.”
This two-person play by Norm Foster begins with a very detailed internal monologue from Bud Mitchell, played by David Silberman. Bud is an older fellow who 25 years before fell in love with his boss’ wife, Molly Graham, who is played by Judy Jean Berns.
Set in Toronto, “Old Love” presents the idea of love for older, more mature adults and how they feel about it.
Molly has recently lost her husband of 34 years when Bud suddenly comes into her life. Meeting at her husband’s funeral, the two interact awkwardly due to Bud’s nervousness.
Making the mistake of asking Molly out on a date at her husband’s funeral, Bud faces constant rejection throughout this two-act performance.
Switching between Molly’s and Bud’s internal monologue’s, the audience learns about the two and their lives before meeting each other.
Throughout the course of the play, Bud pursues Molly in hopes to win her love with his awkward charm and witty personality, but Molly constantly rejects him.
This sophisticated performance shines a comedic light on romance and affection only found in the love in a pair of old hearts.
Silberman and Berns have remarkable chemistry on stage and are a delight to watch. Bringing out their characters with their witty senses of humor, both perform one of the most extraordinary plays of the summer season.
