In this show we follow lonely people looking for the ‘one and only’ by placing ads in the ‘Personals’ section. It is put together by a succession of sketches almost in a revue fashion and basically PERSONALS revolves around an issue that most of us are familiar with; the search for true love. Perhaps particularly people living in larger cities where more and more live alone. It focuses both on the advertisers as well as the respondents and we gain insight in their mutual nervousness, desperation and frustrations. Also we witness what may come of such relationships and what happens when people meet for real, as it sometimes ends in sorrow, hope, irony, laughter and even happiness.
