Blind Date

Pairs of chairs in rows facing each other. Men sit in one row and women in the other. They are on a blind date.

Husband: (sitting in the row turns to face the opposite direction - holding a phone to his ear while he covers the other ear with his hand) Hi hunny, sorry I won’t be able to come home tonight … um … I’m working late.

Wife: (sitting in the other row, but not opposite her husband at the end of the row, repeats the same action of talking on the phone and covering her ear with her other hand) That’s okay babe, something has … umm … come up. I have things to do.

Women in charge of the blind date: (Announces) The blind date has now started.

All blind date conversations are short – people talk quickly.

Husband: Hi

Blind Date 1: (women sitting opposite him) Hi

Husband: Likes

Blind Date 1: Long walks on the beach and singing in the shower

Husband: Dislikes

Blind Date 1: You

Wife: Hello

Man 1: Hi

Wife: Dislikes

Man 1: Hobbies

Wife: Favourite book

Man 1: Favourite movie

- Ding – a noise goes off and men move one chair to the right

Husband: Hello

Blind Date 2: Hi

Husband: Most embarrassing moment

Blind Date 2: Too embarrassing to tell

Husband: Favourite holiday destination

Blind Date 2: Bangkok

They stop talking. Men move one place to right. Wife and husband are now sitting in front of each other.
