ON STAGE: A young woman and a young man walk separately on a street.
They don’t know or acknowledge each other, caught in their own thoughts.
A sudden shower. They dash for cover under a canopy by a patio.
They run into each other, gaze and are smitten. She’s coyly shy. He’s not.
They begin their singing conversation. Music.
She
Summer shower
He
Meet a lady
Got an hour?
She
Well, maybe
He
We could sit out on the patio
She
Need umbrella
He
Got a cover
She
Clever fella
He
Need a lover?
She
Let’s…just sit out on the patio
Both
and watch the
summer shower
for an hour
feel the power
of the shower
as it lets
the summer flowers grow
She
I’ve a query
He
I’ve an answer
She
If she’s teary?
He
Best romance her
lest the deary
turn away and go
Shall we marry?
She
I don’t know you
Don’t be scary
He
I can show you
sunny days
to set your face aglow
She
Live together
He
Come let’s hurry
She
Stormy weather!
He
Don’t you worry
We’ll spend our lives
out on the patio
Both
and watch the
summer shower
for an hour
feel the power
of the shower
as it lets
the summer flowers grow
They hug, kiss, and run off stage together.
