I Cant Tell You

In the course pf human affairs, there is a fundamental conundrum. How do you know that what someone else is feeling is genuine? In a relationship, it is a matter of trust. But trust of what? Jessica and Rob become ensnared by a paradox that places them both in an impossible position. You trust someone, but trust is not enough. This short play examines how love for somebody can be a relationships worst enemy. How love can be mistrustful while it tries to accommodate the differences that exist between people. Rob and Jessica become victims of their love for each other when a secret has to be brought into the open. The insoluble situation is blown apart when their close friends come for dinner, and what Rob and Jessica learn is that, sometimes, the insoluble can be resolved, but trusting someone else has nothing to do with it.
