Speed Dating

Two senior citizens meet at a speed dating event at the local Holiday Inn. The first 80% of the play is extremely funny banter, and it then moves into a tender, heartwarming ending. This is a short play, around 15 minutes

Speed Dating

Recommended by

  • John David Westby: Speed Dating

    A comedy about love, loss, and absurd honesty that seems to break out when two characters of a certain life experience meet at a speed dating event. Rapid-fire dialogue ricochets from outrageous humor to genuine tenderness, revealing two people who discover that even after deep loss, connection might still be possible.

    Loved this. Curt Strickland gives us terrific, witty repartee, and characters to love, feel for, root for, and want more of.

    This play is fantastic, full of humor, and then touching and poignant. I love the rapid-fire way they spring through an entire relationship, because why not air it all out now. Very smart piece!
