March 2002. The story explores a five-year relationship between Jamie
Wellerstein, a rising novelist, and Cathy Hiatt,<span> </span>a struggling actress. The show uses a
form of storytelling in which Cathy's story is told in reverse chronological
order (beginning the show at the end of the marriage), and Jamie's is told in
chronological order (starting just after the couple have first met). The
characters do not directly interact except for a wedding song in the middle as
their timelines intersect.</span></p>
