tokens of affection

a romantic comedy in two acts

3 f / 3 m

Frank Garrett is caught completely off-guard when Jackie, his wife of thirty-seven years, announces she’s leaving. Her only explanation? “You don’t send me flowers.”
Frank seeks solace and answers at the New York apartment of his son Charlie, a video game designer. When Charlie calls his sister Claire in a panic, he discovers Jackie has found refuge at Claire’s Connecticut home.
Via a series of telephone conspiracies, the siblings join forces on a mission to get their parents back together- and more importantly, back in their own home. But complications arise when Frank is introduced to Rita, the lovely widow across the hall…
A modern homage to mid-century romantic comedies in the vein of Barefoot in the Park and Sunday in New YorkTokens of Affection is a warm-hearted delight.

“A funny and endearing romantic comedy… sharp dialogue and specifically delineated characters… Centering it all is a series of brilliantly conceived conversations about marriage, relationships, (and) the contrasting needs of surprise and comfort/appreciation.” 

- ATLANTA THEATRE BUZZ

 

“‘Comfort’ and ‘appreciation’ may seem mundane qualities when taken out of context, but in Tokens of Affection they are shown to be that which nurtures lasting love.”

- SMOKE SIGNALS MAGAZINE

 

“A laugh-out-loud look at family temporarily turned upside down… But between all the hilarity are some really poignant moments. At the heart is an endearing story that examines the ups and downs of marriage and relationships.”
