(clip) Lovers is a beautiful play, an Irish play by Brian Friel, and my then wife Lianne Davidson and I played. One of the acts is about two lovers, two teenage lovers who go take a boating ride to try to study for their homework except she's also pregnant and they're getting married. She only wants to talk about getting married (chuckles) and being pregnant and he wants to pass his O levels so that he can continue on in school and not be a loser.  And they get into fights but it's very sweet.  They end up dying on the lake and that's told in a flashback. It's a beautiful play - Lianne was great, she got better reviews than I did. She was wonderful.  JM.com  2007
