CARBON DATING

by Ron Elisha

Thirteen characters go on a succession of first dates. Through a number of hilarious, sometimes excruciating scenes, we come to see not only the complex web of relationships that exists between these characters, but also a certain primal template for the mating ritual that cannot be ignored. Part of the folklore of this ritual is the necessary myth that, somewhere out there, there is a Mr or Ms Right for each of us.

But a myth, necessary or otherwise, is nevertheless a myth. There is nothing new under the sun.
