Wife of Bath's Tale -- Revised Circa 2014

What are the deepest, darkest, sensual secrets of young women?

In this play, 18-year-old Jim, his older sister Erica and his mother, Ellen, share a home just a few miles from the Pacific Ocean in Santa Barbara, California. Jim lives in a cozy guest house in back of the main house. It has skylights, a full kitchen and bath, a private deck in back (with a view of the neighbor's back yard), and a bedroom that has posters of volleyball players, track athletes and surfers, many of them gorgeous women. He is strikingly handsome, wears his blond hair long, has blue eyes and strong tanned body from playing soccer, surfing, and weight-lifting. He graduated a month ago and is planning to attend a nearby community college in the fall -- with a major in communications.

Erica is a junior at a university in northern California, and comes home for the summer to help Ellen run the coffee shop that the family has owned for fifteen years. Erica is tall, beautiful, very bright, and is majoring in civil engineering. Her career goal is to graduate next spring and find an engineering-related job with a California company. She and her mom are very close, and they both worry that Jim will not succeed in college because of his obsession for sports, workouts, and women.

Erica is more like a sister than a daughter to Ellen, who, in her mid-forties, is lovely, youthful, charming and a smart businesswoman. Ellen's husband was killed in a hunting accident five years ago. She has staffed her coffee shop with attractive, friendly and bright young students, and it is very profitable.

Act One / Scene One: Jim has a part-time summer job at a surfboard and beach clothing shop in Goleta, and following his shift, he surfs before coming home around four o'clock.

On a warm August Tuesday Jim was on his deck watching the neighbor girl, Debbi, a sexy teen, who that day had her bikini top off. Jim's libido was firing on all cylinders. He was friends with Debbi, and they even kissed, once, but on this day he invited her up to his deck, and the kissing quickly turned to serious sex. Jim was so eager and assertive, and he had fantasized so often about seducing her, he never thought about Debbi's age. She was 16, and in California, having sex with a minor is statutory rape.

Act One / Scene Two: Jim's sister stumbled upon the love-making pair by accident; she was bringing Jim's mail, but as she entered the small cottage she heard the passion sounds and peeked onto the deck to witness her brother and the underage neighbor girl going at it. Later she confronted her brother:

"Jim I am shocked and outraged that you are having sex with a minor. Are you planning on getting her pregnant? How crazy is that? I'm going to bust you, Jim, big time."

"Oh come on Erica, she's almost eighteen and I'm not getting her pregnant."

"Jim, she's sixteen. I know her mother. It's called rape, statutory rape, even if she is cooperative, you're a rapist. And here's what I'm going to do…"

Erica told Jim that she will tell Debbi's mother that Jim is raping her daughter, and Jim could be arrested -- unless Jim meets certain conditions. They are: a) Jim must approach at least twelve young women he doesn't know in the mall, asking them their deepest, darkest sensual secrets and fantasies; b) if he finds….....
