When the play begins, Dr. Charlotte Kaplan, prominent psychiatrist, is in the middle of an emotional breakdown. We then go back in time to discover how she got that way... It seems that Dr. Kaplan, always trying to help her most desperate patients by preventing them from falling in love too quickly, has been seeing more and more cases of that variety. There’s a lot of impetuous infatuation going around. Soon it will turn out that all of these women are falling for the same man. And Charlotte Kaplan is about to meet him. John Casey, New York’s contemporary Giacomo Casanova, has been looking for a woman like Charlotte for a while — one who understands him inside and out, who can keep up with him in every way. He seduces her with alarming rapidity. But that’s when things start to get more complicated. It turns out that she has a bit of a problem with commitment too. And it appears that in the tumultuous, electric romance between Charlotte and John, at least one of them is falling in love. A play for anyone who’s ever dated the wrong person.
