Short synopsis
- Synopsis
- Characters
One couple, three stories: when, then & again. Over a fifty-year period, we witness the seed of a relationship being planted and the eventual blossoming.
Two teenagers Drew & Jane, meet by chance underneath an old oak tree without realising the impact that this encounter will have on their lives. The instant connection between the two, allows them both to feel at ease, as they quickly begin to get to know and confide in each other.
We then flash forward twenty years to their second meeting where they are now both mature adults with life experience behind them. That initial connection remains as they quickly pick up from where they left off like it was only yesterday, not twenty years! They discuss their lives over the past twenty years as well as sharing their hopes & dreams for the future.
It is now thirty years since Drew & Jane met for the second time and this is clearly a couple very much in love. A strong marriage forged over a thirty-year period as they both return to where it all began. They are here to fight for the old oak tree and the place which means so much. Tough decisions must be made as they each discover and discuss what matters in life the most.

Frequently asked questions
Can we try before we buy?
Of course! All our plays and pantomimes have a free Preview Script available for download as an A4 pdf file that contains 60-75% of the full script. If you like what you read then you can buy an inexpensive e-script of the entire play (typically less than half the cost of a traditional printed script) which is licensed to you for your personal use. Purchasing a script copying licence allows you to make just enough copies to support rehearsals and performances.
All our musicals are included in our perusal service. Through this, representatives of producing organisations can request a USB Stick of perusal material which comprise the script/libretto and piano/vocal score as PDF files; a Cast (or Studio) Recording as MP3 files and (where available) an MP4 file video of either the premiere production or of a subsequent production.
Some titles have the facility to read the entire script online on our website.
Do we need a Licence To Perform?
The simple answer is, yes.
Under the international laws of copyright, you must be in possession of a valid, unexpired licence before performing any piece of theatre unless the owner or managers of the copyright has waived their rights.
Why do you insist on providing a formal royalties quotation?
When you request a quotation, it is logged in our system, it forms part of an orderly queue and protects your place in that queue should multiple licensing requests occur for the same show.
