{"product_id":"beach-people-charles-a-duncombe-9798840855133","title":"Beach People","description":"Close your eyes and listen to the sound of the waves, feel the sun on your skin, have a pina colada, smell the coconut oil. A couple baking happily on the sand seems to have found paradise until their life is turned upside down by a beautiful girl in bikini who has a thing for fruit salad and eastern philosophy. And what about the handsome waiter in a speedo? This is how a day at beach turns into existential panic. Two floundering people struggle to figure it all out-literally-in this new comedy about love, sex, and the meaning of life by award-winning playwright Charles A. Duncombe. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eTop Ten! \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Michel's staging balances the humor and pathos with equal panache and her cast does not equivocate.
