Dinner With Friends - a Play by Donald Marguiles

Didn't outline this, but learned plenty...

​Simple. Two couples, all friends, one couple introduced the others and now the others are getting divorced. Beautiful story but told so poignantly. PEOPLE LATCH ON TO PETTY DETAILS IN BIG ARGUMENTS. It's what makes this feel so real. Is that even in an argument about something life-altering, people still mince words and pick at each other. Also, the hair-touching moment. A very simple interaction between Tom and Karen, but it infuses EVERYTHING - Beth's jealousy, Tom's discontent, Gabe's insecurity, Karen's harsh feelings towards Tom - with a deeper, more complex humanity.

    NOTE

    These outlines are not polished and they are not politically correct. They are bare bones and often do no justice to the script or the writers of said script. Posting the outlines here so they can be easily referenced when working on new pilots.  Also thought they might be helpful to other writers out there.

    Enjoy!
