ALPHABETS & ANGELS
Cast:
SIMON - early/mid 30s, an easygoing EFL teacher
HILARY - mid/late 30s, a smart business executive
MR / MRS LERIOS - 50s/60s, the hotel manager
Their last morning together. Or is it? Has the week that Hilary and Simon have spent in Greece been nothing more than a holiday romance, or is it something serious?
They couldn’t be more different. Simon teaches English to foreign students and is, he admits, a wanderer who has had a good many relationships and is hopelessly unfocused.
Hilary, meanwhile, is a high-powered business woman and a ‘completer-finisher’. Having finished a long-term relationship in England, is her time with Simon now complete?
The moment has come for them to bare their souls and unload their emotional baggage. But Simon still has a very significant question which Hilary has been oddly reluctant to answer ...
