A Two Act Play for six characters      (85 minutes)

Gino runs a shabby cafe doing all-day breakfasts and has a dream to open a smart Italian restaurant in town with Becky, his waitress.   Two graduates, Mark and Hannah, meet by chance in the cafe, having not seen each other since university, and rekindle their friendship.  Gino's avaricious wife, Trish, has a penchant for shopping.  Lennie, a local ne’er do well, visits the cafe to sort out some unfinished business with Gino.
