Hook line: A witty glimpse of a steady rural couple weighing work, money, and the meaning of “the simple life.”
In this one‑act comedy, a farming pair argues about keeping the land versus selling out. The dialogue flashes between practical money talk and farm pride, revealing how hard work, small profits, and stubborn optimism shape everyday life. When old friends and a neighbor drop by, the visit exposes the gap between city comforts and country routines, all with sharp humor and warm hospitality.
- Discover a humorous clash of two worlds: a homegrown sense of value vs. outside expectations
- See how figures, finances, and a stubborn incubator become a running gag
- Enjoy lively exchanges about neighbors, technology, and the simple joys of rural living
- Feel the pull between staying put and chasing a bigger life, with a light touch
Ideal for readers who enjoy character-driven stage pieces, witty banter, and stories about family, community, and the costs—and rewards—of a simple life.
