ANATOMY OF ATTRACTION

A chance meeting in the library ends with two college classmates
deciding to chance a first date. Their preconceptions and indecision
are revealed through inner monologue, with additional commentary
provided by two additional narrators. If they don't scare each other
off, they might actually have a second date.

A great opportunity for comic actors.

meaning.

MEREDITH - College age girl, similar temperament, only slightly more
jaded.

FEMALE NARRATOR - Sarcastic, cautionary voice of feminine wisdom and
experience.

dating strategy.
