Product Information

A dating agency, love longing customers and a used car salesman. Love Or Nearest Offer is a high octane theatrical mix sure to appeal to the romantic and cynic alike.
Beverly (aged about 50) has successfully run Love Of Your Life introduction agency for more than 20 years. When her silent partner dies, he leaves his half of the business to Reg (50) – a knock about, no nonsense former car dealer. With his own ideas on how to move merchandise and a romantic itch that needs scratching, Reg has no intention of remaining silent! There are finely written supporting roles – agency clients Marion (35), and Jason (40). No need for airbags – you won’t be crashing with a vehicle of this quality.
Have you ever sat in the theatre and thought to yourself – I know exactly how this play will end? You won’t be thinking that with Love Or Nearest Offer. The Noosa One Act Play Writing Competition has unearthed many top draw, surprising scripts. This is another. It’s a compact and fuel efficient model too; completes its journey
in around 35 minutes. There’s truthful dialogue and rib tickling one liners. One quick test drive and you’re sure to be impressed.

Ian Austin – May 13, 2014

Love or Nearest Offer was undoubtedly the hit of the night at the Noosa Festival. This well structured comedy was loaded with funny one-liners and highlighted the acting talents of the cast
