LIBRETTO                                             {ACT 2}

6. SO WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO ANNIE, THE SLIGHTLY INEBRIATED GIRL CURT MET  ON MARCH 15TH?  WELL, LIKE MANY, WITH ISOLATION, NO JOB, AND DAILY SELF EXAMINATION, SHE DEVELOPED A NEW APPRECIATION FOR NATURE, FAMILY, MUSIC, ART, AND THE SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE. DISCOVERING WHAT’S REALLY IMPORTANT TO HER. WILL IT LAST?
TO MOST, SURVIVAL IS THE MAIN CONCERN. MANY CONTINUED TO THRIVE, CHASING AND CATCHING THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR, UNAFFECTED FINANCIALLY BY THE PANDEMIC.
OTHERS DIDN’T FARE THAT WELL.  ANOTHER TRIP AROUND THE SUN.

8. AS THE YEAR GRINDS TO IT’S END, LISTS OF ALL THOSE WE LOST TO COVID 19 ARE POSTED, APPEARING IN NEWSPAPERS, ON CITY WALLS, NEWS SCROLLS, TV AND COMPUTER SCREENS. SCANNING THE LIST, CURT RECOGNIZES A NAME FROM HIS PAST.

9. REMEMBER ANNIE AND CURT? YES, THIS WAS ORIGINALLY A LOVE STORY. BOY MEETS GIRL, BOY LOSSES GIRL, PANDEMIC DEVESTATES THE WORLD, BOY SEES GIRL AGAIN. 
AS RESTRICTIONS LIGHTEN UP AND PEOPLE ADJUST TO THE NEW NORMAL. NIGHT LIFE RETURNS. AND THEY RETURN TO THE SAME IRISH BAR THEY MET IN A YEAR AGO.
THEY SEE EACH OTHER ACROSS A CROWDED BAR. CURT IS DELIGHTED, SAYING SHE LOOKS ‘TOO FINE FOR WORDS’!   AND ANNIE,…WELL, SHE ‘KIND OF REMEMBERS HIM’..??
