A woman and a man who meet every day at the same job. A traditional job, from eight in the morning until five in the evening, in a small office where the monotonous clatter of typewriters constantly sounds while performing the same action – writing the names, surnames, and addresses of potential buyers on promotional postcards. This is how Sylvia Payton and Paul Cunningham spend their days in one office. A woman and a man desperately trying to speak in their daily dialogues about what excites, saddens, and even hurts them. They recklessly believe that they will never have to do what they do not want to do, and that this daily "machine" typing on postcards is just their temporary job.

"The Typists" is a play about the desire to live differently, about the desire to escape from the shell of daily routine for at least a short while, and at the same time about the great fear of changing anything in an established life. It is a play about ambitions that are greater than the person themselves.
