Dan Shapiro: An urban male in his late twenties
Bernard Litko: Dan’s friend and associate
Deborah Soloman: A woman in her late twenties
Joan Webber: Deborah’s friend and roommate
The main plot point is Danny and Deborah’s relationship, perpetuating much of the dialogue about men and women. Their romance is quickly established by sexual attraction, but as the play progresses and Deborah moves into Danny’s apartment, they are unable to talk with each other seriously. Danny complains in frustration, “Everything’s fine. Sex, talk, life, everything. Until you want to get ‘closer’, to get ‘better’. Do you know what the fuck you want?”2 Eventually, the couple breaks up while Danny and Bernie revert to their usual talk about “broads” and what is wrong with the world. – Wikipedia -
