With the name, Robyn Fortune, shouldn’t the streets be
paved with gold? Or at least paved? Not so for this Park
Slope make-up artist/aspiring comic. Ever since her
divorce, life has taken her down a rocky road, with no
signs pointing to fame or fortune. And she’s not laughing. Her ex’s gambling debts left her teetering on bankruptcy.
Her bi-polar boss at “Daybreak” is about to can her. And
over at Hotel Marriage, Robyn wonders if she’ll ever check-
in again, while her sexually bored mother, Sheila Holtz, is
threatening to check out. Back in Jersey, Harvey Holtz, an amateur cartographer,
prefers mapmaking over lovemaking. He’s a lost soul who
can’t find his way back to his wife’s heart. So it’s up to
Robyn and her brother, Phillip, to get their parents to
reconcile. Well, just Robyn. Phil would like to help.
Really. But he’s swamped with work and family obligations. Go figure a family bar mitzvah is where fate steps in,
making it a date with destiny for them all. Robyn is
offered money to go on a blind date with Ken Danziger, a
man who has had even more misfortune than her. Expecting love at first sight? Sorry, it’s a table for one
at their self-pity parties. Until Robyn sees a photograph
in his apartment she took fifteen years earlier, and
discovers their paths have been crossing since birth. What follows is a series of hilarious and often
heartbreaking encounters that unlock their secret pasts,
and the roles of their meddling mamas. Fate & Ms. Fortune is about rebuilding a life after the
marital foundation has cracked and about finding love when
it’s not on the map. But mostly it’s about realizing that
when fate knocks, you’d better answer, for good fortune
could be at the door.
