ANYONE CAN DANCE – DRAMA ABOUT SOULMATES AND IF THEY REALLY EXIST
Samantha and Joe, a 30-something couple, fall into a discussion one night – what if they had met at different points in their lives? What would they have been like, and how would they have reacted to each other as small children, or as teens, or university students? Would they have fallen in love, or at another age would they just have been wrong for each other?
Told in a series of “what if” scenarios depicting alternate pasts, interspersed with Sam and Joe’s present-day discussion, this two-hander one act play invites the audience to consider the concept of “meant to be”. Is there such a thing as soulmates, or are our successful relationships just a result of “right place, right time”? A drama about soulmates and if they really exist.
