English Made Simple

English Made Simple

"English Made Simple" by David Ives is the story of a couple named Jack and Jill who meet at a party. As the night progresses it becomes apparent that the two knew each other, and were even involved romantically, before this night at the party. Meanwhile a college English professor, who's name is never announced but written as the "Loudspeaker Voice" in the script, explains what the couple is "really" thinking as they talk to each other. It is an extremely wordy romantic comedy full of twists and turns. Well written, it is one of David Ives better known plays.
