WANDA'S  VISIT   by Christopher Durang 

Wanda’s visit is a short one-act comedy play. The couple, Jim and Marsha, face difficulties after 13 years of their marriage. Their relationship starts fading after a restless life. One of the old friends of Jim, named Wanda sends a letter to him, asking to visit her. The visit of Wanda disrupts the happiness of the couple. Even though Jim is excited about visiting Wanda, Marsha does not seem too happy about the visit.

Wanda is a good looking woman, who praises Jim as a wonderful man. She used to hug Jim and this makes Marsha jealous. Jim and Wanda are high school friends in a relationship. After the ex-girl- friend’s visit, Jim becomes more involved with her. She starts flirting with him and Jim also gets trapped because of her interest. Wanda’s outrageous behavior poses a threat to the marriage life and finally destroys it for good. After Wanda's visit, the couple realizes their love for one another and starts living happily again.
