Written by Renee Taylor and Joseph Bologna, "Lovers and Other Strangers" is an evening of five comedic one-acts that explore love and marriage. The first deals with the lead-up to a seduction, the second with a married couple's quarrel, the third with the other woman and her lover, the fourth with a groom getting cold feet the night before his wedding, and the fifth with a father and mother struggling to help their son keep his marriage together.
