Synopsis
The spirits of William and Mary, a teenage couple, awaken into a void. As they question where they are, they begin to relive their first meeting at a New Year's Eve social, the initial giddy courtship and the overwhelming passions of first love, the pangs of a six-month absence from each other, an unplanned pregnancy and the guilt and shame of a young man living in a rural community in which respectability is of utmost importance. Although they try to nourish their love amidst the confusing emotions and events of their lives, misunderstanding and fear create terrible consequences, turning William and Mary's romance into stunning tragedy. Tuesdays & Sundays was inspired by a true love story that took place in 1887 in the farming community of Margate on Prince Edward Island.

Customer Reviews
- "A powerful play with lots of depth. Topics are handled creatively and sensitively. A wonderful opportunity for experienced actors."
- Review by Bob Ramseur, Newnan High School, Newnan, Ga.
- "This is a wonderfully written play that takes you on a journey; and after it's over, you are left wanting more. I loved that with very little stage directions it was left up to us on what we wanted to create. I love that this play will be done in many different ways."
- Review by Leanne Keys, Kamsack Players Club, Kamsack, Saskatchewan, Canada
