I Remember You starred Jane Seymour and Daniel J. Travanti in the critically acclaimed Arts and Entertainment Network television production. It can now be cut to contest length (call for details).

The cast is made up of Carrie, a successful sculptor; Paul, a banker; and "Carrie Younger" and "Paul Younger," their alter-egos—memories of their younger lives when they loved each other. (They had even talked of marriage.) But that early love went awry. Carrie and Paul each married someone else. Carrie's marriage ended in divorce. When she read of Paul's wife's death, Carrie sent him a sympathy note, and now—years since they last saw each other—he shows up unannounced at her door...accompanied by the memory of when he was younger, Paul Younger. Paul Older tells Paul Younger not to interfere. "I won't if you promise not to make a fool of yourself," the younger retorts. When Carrie Older hesitates opening the door, Carrie Younger urges her on.

"The use of alter-egos is a clever technique," the reviewer for the Hollywood Reporter wrote. "We are asked to suspend disbelief: a stretch, yes, but one that works." Variety reviewer Tony Scott called the show "involving and dramaticaly sound," noting that "Travanti does yeoman's work as the careful, reluctant Paul...Jane Seymour creates a lonely, vulnerable creature out of Carrie."

Lauren Bacall in hosting the A&E presentation called it a "tender story of romance and memories." She named "compassionate characterizations" and "sensitive treatment of controversial subjects" as strong points in Boretz's plays.

Don't all of us, at one time or another, think of "early loves"? What would happen if one of those early loves knocked at your door? The play poses the question: Do people change as they mature? Can they change?

"The ending is a surprise," the Hollywood Reporter noted, adding that the one-act, one-set play "is a real tour-de-force, proving that you don't need a big budget to deliver the dramatic goods." Stage Directions reported that the play "is clever and poignant [providing] wonderful opportunities for the four players, right up to the surprise ending."
