Two plays. The Pear Tree is about a woman who is visited by the spirit of her deceased aunt's sweetheart. He is very similar in personality to the woman's own daughter's boyfriend. The spirit and the boyfriend should be played by the same actor. It is a sweet piece, not intended to be spooky. Irene is quite a different story. It is biographical and tells the story of a woman resolving the difficulties she has had as the wife of an alcoholic.
