Sally and Caitlin

By Charles Medlam

Three teenage girls from different backgrounds find themselves and partners.

Well-heeled golden girl Sally becomes a speech-writer for elite politicians. More complicated Caitlin, initially a geographer, becomes an actress and writer for the stage.

Rachel, while waitressing in Italy, hooks up with an art expert twenty years her senior, who prepares her for a career in art history and teaches her how to live life.

The path to suitable partners is anything but smooth. Sally finds Julien, a mixed-race maths genius, but has to wait while he frees himself. On a theatre tour of North and South America, Caitlin has a tumultuous affair with exotic Leandro, Romeo to her Juliet. Meeting up again in post-tour productions, they realise it was more than just a fling, and now face the painful task of extricating themselves from long-term partners. Their different methods and time scales cause immense and nearly fatal resentment.

Sally's self-effacing brother Henry finally realises that he and Rachel share a destiny. Caitlin's brother Ed finds himself a delightful marketing assistant of Indian heritage, but the strife between the Capujabis and Ed's family (the Montagues ) continues the on-going Romeo and Juliet theme.
