A charming little play with a Twilight Zone-esque premise. A strange, charming old man shows up at a wedding and asks to kiss the bride. When he does, the bride and the old man switch minds, unbeknownst to the groom, who must gradually figure out what has happened.
The play has a lot to say about living life fearlessly. Enjoying your youth while you've got it. And it's a nice little love story. It starts out with some nice, funny, early-love banter between the young couple and by the end of the play requires the audience to think about the way they're living their lives.
