Did the Earth Move?

Carmen Reid

After three years of celibacy, Eve has finally enjoyed intimacy once again with her cats vet Nils. As she ponders her wantonness she looks at her fourth finger wearing the ring of her second ex husband Joseph, but cannot fathom why she still has it on.

Eve struggles with two adult children (twenty-two years idol Denny and twenty-year old Tom) and two pre-adolescent (nine years old Anna and Two years old Robbie). Especially wearying her tired soul is her youngest who has become the poster boy for the terrible twos. Eve wonders if her new found relationship is enough for her, as it lacks the passion she shared with Joseph.

This is an amusing look at a woman in a mid life crisis struggling with her everyday existence raising what she assumes is a hyperactive infant and the reincarnation of a Freudian daughter while wondering how she went wrong since Joseph remains in her heart. The story line is character driven as the forty something Eve begins to realize she must first rediscover who she is before she can decide on what she wants. Carmen Reid writes a fine drama starring a woman struggling with what she truly desires out of life.
