Synopsis
The Fiona Buckingham Introductions Agency is the world's least successful dating service. Proprietor Fiona Prendergast is desperate for new clients. All the existing ones, no matter how unsuitable, have now dated each other. One day, into her office walks the hapless Trevor Hopkins. Will Trevor be the end to Fiona's problems, or the start of many more?Staging is very simple with minimal furniture and props – just a table and two chairs should largely suffice, plus a typewriter and phone. Scene changes need to be as short and slcik as possible to keep action flowing. If desired, scene changes can be covered by a brief musical extract – suggestions given in text.
