SYNOPSIS

Two-character romantic comedy.

Maude, a lonely, surly, storefront psychic has accepted that love is not in the cards for her. She can see the future and knows this to be true. But when Jeremy, a despondent love-hungry accountant threatens to kill himself if she sees no love for him, she must wrestle with fate, and in changing his destiny, change her own.

CHARACTERS

MAUDE. A third generation fortune teller from Brooklyn. Hates her life, hates her job, but believes that she is powerless to change it. She dons an overblown fortune-teller's voice and costume when she is working -- no one ever sees her as she really is.

JEREMY. An accountant from Brooklyn Heights. Desperate for love, Jeremy drives everyone away. Remarkably naive and sweet.
