Dreamers is a three act play concerning romantic love between an older man (Thomas) and a younger woman (Kate). Act 1 is complete within itself and can be presented as a one act, running about 25 to 30 minutes. It is basically a realistic play, however the dream sequences utilise special effects. Act1. Kate goes to Thomas's second hand bookshop seeking an old book to use in a school play. There is an immediate attraction between them. At home Kate daydreams about her father who abandoned her as a child and Thomas dreams about the child he abandoned in England when studying at Cambridge. Kate returns to the shop and invites Thomas to a soiree. At the soiree Thomas is about to ask Kate out for a date when a young man enters who he mistakenly thinks is Kate's lover. All they can do is dream. Act 2: We have an action replay of the previous scene however the young man does not arrive. Kate and Thomas start dating however it is purely platonic. Eventually Thomas asks Kate to marry him. She refuses but suggests a sexual relationship. They go to bed but it is a disaster because they have not resolved the confusion of their lover/surrogate parent/sibling relationship. Act 3: We have an action replay of the previous scene however this time Thomas is given advice by one of the three fates in the guise of an ice cream vendor and decides not to ask Kate to marry him. They discuss "The Taming of the Shrew" and have a row. Thomas takes her to visit his parents. Kate decides to take a holiday at a remote, rugged beach. During this period they both dream about their relationship and these dreams resolve the problems that have been hindering the union. They live happy ever after.
