Huey Maximillian Bonfigliano has a problem: While he is safely divorced from his volatile first wife, Janice, he feels he cannot regain his identity as a man until he courts and wins her one more time—if only to put his broken marriage behind him once and for all. He enlists the aid of a lifelong friend, Aldo Scalicki, a confirmed bachelor who tries, without apparent success, to convince Huey that he would be better off staying with his new girlfriend, Teresa, a waitress whose indignation flares when she leans what Huey is up to. In a moonlit balcony scene (hilariously reminiscent of Cyrano de Bergerac), Aldo pleads his lovesick friend’s case and, to his astonishment, Janice succumbs—although not for long. What follows is a series of comic, surprising, and poignant developments in which characters come to learn, in the words of one of them, “the greatest—and only—success is to be able to love”–a truth which emerges from this heartwarming, funny play.
