An Off-Off-Broadway success which was performed extensively throughout New York City, and subsequently filmed for television, this inventive and skilfully written comedy combines offbeat humour with some probing truths about big city loneliness and the need to fulfil one's creative potential.

Running low on funds having fled to New York from Oak Harbour, Ohio (and her husband), Loretta applies for a position with a one-man advertising firm - only to have owner Leonard greet her with the news that he is going out of business. In fact, he has to scratch to refund the carfare she spent coming to see him.

This chance encounter should be over as soon as it began, but Loretta, who has come to the big city to find her place in life, senses that this man may be just what she was looking for. Despite his resistance, Leonard finds himself drawn deeply into a very funny and progressively revealing conversation that makes both of them face the inescapable truths about love, life, and the need to find your own way, whatever the obstacles.
