The play spans nearly thirty years, from the 1970s to the 1990s. Brothers Michael and Jason 'Japes' Cartts share the house in which they grew up, and then share the woman they both love. The object of their affection, Anita, becomes Michael's wife whilst remaining Japes' lover. This ménage-a-trois results in a fraternal relationship based on guilt and dependence - as toxic as it is supportive. Michael becomes the successful author whilst Japes' academic career stalls and he hits the bottle. Anita is stuck between this intense rivalry but is herself afflicted by her indecision and the nagging feeling that she married the wrong brother.

Take one closet writer of romantic fiction, her beloved local vicar, her philandering husband and a girl on the loose – add in a devotion to literature, a fast car and a captivating length of chain – and you have Just the Three of Us, where love, lust and a smiling refusal to say no can have frightening and exhilarating consequences. Just the Three of Us stylishly mixes the comic and the macabre to achieve a thoroughly entertaining story that is both tense and surprisingly touching.

A sellout! That's what Dr. Michelle Roberts considered Dr. Dominic Walsh, host of Health Matters - a TV show that was shooting a live segment right in the middle of Michelle's E.R. Then Dominic helped rescue a baby, and Michelle grudgingly admitted he'd saved the infant's life. But if he really cared about helping people Dominic would come and work with her in E.R. instead of playing the TV star! Though Dominic was furious over Michelle's public challenge to him, he knew that viewers couldn't wait to see more sparks fly between him and the beautiful Dr. Roberts. Accepting her dare would definitely ignite passions - on camera and off!
