The play "ECHO" by Joseph T. Shipley is a dialogue between two characters, Harold and Mary, that explores themes of identity, love, and self-discovery. The play also incorporates the perspectives of two additional characters, "Myself" (representing reason) and "I" (representing emotion). The setting is the interior of a brain, and the characters communicate through sharp and often conflicting conversations.

The play begins with Myself and I engaging in a conversation about the pursuit of money versus following one's dreams. Myself emphasizes the importance of practicality and facts, while I argues for the value of misunderstanding and the enjoyment of life. The stage then lights up to reveal Harold and Mary at a restaurant table, discussing the passage of time and reflecting on their past choices. Their conversation is interrupted by Myself and I's ongoing debate.

As the play unfolds, the characters delve into topics such as love, regret, and personal growth. Harold questions Mary's intentions and accuses her of trying to shape him into a different person based on her previous relationship with John. There are moments of tension and jealousy, accompanied by Myself and I's ongoing conflicting opinions.

Towards the end of the play, a new scene is introduced where Mary is in bed and Harold is undressing. Mary calls out the name "John" in her sleep, which startles Harold. They briefly discuss Harold's play idea about a man who discovers he is an echo, but ultimately dismiss it as a foolish thought. The play concludes with Mary settling back to sleep and the curtain falling.

In summary, "ECHO" explores the complexities of relationships, personal identity, and the pursuit of happiness. The characters navigate conflicting emotions and differing perspectives, ultimately highlighting the challenges and choices individuals face in their lives.
