Love Begins at Fifty

A modern farce by Raymond Hopkins

Anita and Clive Debanks have been married for 28 years and have led an uneventful life.  But all that is about to change.  Although in a loveless marriage, Clive has never been unfaithful.  However, as preparations for his fiftieth birthday are underway, Clive feels that life is passing him by and has a yearning for a final fling.  To this end, he chooses three prospective partners from the local 'Lonely Hearts' column of the newspaper.  By a strange twist of fate, the same paper is offering a Caribbean cruise, as the first prize, in a competition to find the perfect married couple.  Anita enters the competition, but keeps it a secret from Clive.  A photographer arrives to take pictures of the happy couple the night that Anita is away but Clive is entertaining one of his new dates.  From that point onwards, things get a little complicated, to say the least.
