Overview

This is a double bill. The first play, Winners, tells the story of Mag and Joe. Young and in love, they spend a glorious summer's day laughing and talking together and planning their future. But for Mag and Joe there is to be no future. The second play, Losers, tells of Hanna and Andy, a couple to whom love has come late, and for whom courting is made almost impossible by the upstairs presence of Hanna's demanding invalid mother. They do eventually get married, but gradually Andy realizes that Hanna is bidding fair to becoming a replica of her mother.
