Basically Alma meets a complete stranger in the park and after being slightly charmed by him and with an automatic connection the two decide to go to the Casino (a place Alma never wanted to be before.) One can assume they'll have an intimate relationship. "Oh, how the tables have turned!"
Alma salutes the angel statue as she leaves. I now understand why so much emphasis was put on it. Alma and the statue were sort of one in the same. Or they used to be. She appeared cold and made of stone, but she really wasn't.
The scene is short so it doesn't need much explanation but it holds a lot of weight. Alma and John have both now changed, the world is completely new. And however much we liked them as they were before, I think they both have a better chance of happiness now. Maybe fleeting, or incomplete but at least they know who they want to be and are both more well rounded. This play completely broke my heart but I think it holds a lot of truth about people and men and women and love and change. It was more about a story than an overall idea. I like that things only happened in 3 or 4 places because it kept things simple. I'd really like to see this done well. i think it'd really speak to me.
