In Charles Mee’s FIRST LOVE Edith (Angelina Fiordellisi) and Harold (Michael O’Keefe) have just met and fallen in love for the first time. They are both in the “golden years” of their lives. Mee takes us through a series of scenarios that include courting, lover’s spats, seduction, sex, breakups, and reunions. And along the way he proves that there are no age limits when it comes to insecurities, hope, and a goofy belief in the lyrics of classic love songs. Fiordellisi and O’Keefe are delightful in their ripened characters who are both vulnerable and tough as nails. Mysterious and beautiful Taylor Harvey is the young muse who keeps a watchful eye on the two and adds a few prompts when required.

Who doesn’t love a love story? FIRST LOVE will warm the hearts of audience members both young and old.
