A romantic comedy concerning blind dates and the struggle between the sexes, Bruce starred in the play with Amy Yasbeck, but his role in Knots Landing prevented his availability for every performance. The author has this to say about Bruce's participation in the project:
a note from the playwright:
As you can see from the program, Bruce Greenwood alternated with Larry Poindexter in the role of Don, because Bruce's schedule was quite full and we didn't have him for every performance.Nevertheless, we were happy to have him at all, since his intensity and good looks were ideal for Don, the 'perfect' blind date who turns out to be not quite what he seems. Bruce brought a lot of shadings to the role, making the character very complex -- which was very gratifying for me. And he also made the most of the comedy in the role. He was quite funny, though it seems he's better known for his dramatic roles.
The play ran for six weeks, and probably could have been extended, since the audiences were very enthusiastic, but the theatre was no longer available and all of our actors were getting paying jobs, so we would have had to recast just about every role.
