Story Synopsis:
George
and Jennie are in love, utterly perfect for each other, and
are getting married. There are just a few problems: 1)
They’ve only been dating for two weeks. 2) George’s beloved
wife of twelve years just passed away. 3) Jennie has just
gone through five years of counseling which culminated in a
messy divorce. George’s brother, Leo, and Jennie’s friend,
Faye, don’t have it any easier. Both of their marriages are
in trouble, they’re worried about George and Jennie getting
married too quickly, and the two of them are thinking about
having an affair with each other. Neil Simon’s
semi-autobiographical Chapter Two examines what it means to
truly love someone else, and asks whether finding a soulmate
can happen more than once in a lifetime.
