Weird Romance is a musical composed of two one-act pieces containing a curious mix of a science fiction framework around traditional themes - the generation gap, a love triangle, and the archetypal conflict between those who have power and those who have none.
The first one-act musical The Girl Who Was Plugged In, is about a homeless bag-lady whose soul is transplanted into the body of a gorgeous female android by a company which manufactures celebrities.
The second one act musical, Her Pilgrim Soul, is about a scientist who researches holographic imaging. One day a mysterious "living" holograph, apparently a woman long dead, appears and changes his life forever.
