Eurika! Well, Sort Of....

About two days ago, I finally settled on the basis of my play. The names I use now may or may not be the final ones, but to help the reader they are there. I don't have much time, so here it is in short:
Based in the 1940's, a wealthy and popular writer (Nicholas Creek) begins to live out the lives of his own characters in the hope of leaving his mundane life. While in disguise in a park, he meets a young woman (Alice) who shows him the error of his ways. They fall in love but never tell each other so. However, Nicholas' jealous wife (Sandra Creek) discovers their friendship and orders him to never see the young woman again. He does so, but after the trama of the event Alice dies of heart failure. Upon reaching his home to tell his wife he has done what she asked, he finds her in bed with another man (Johnny Thorp). In a rage, he leaves her and runs to apologize to his true love, Alice, but only discovers her dead. Thrown into an aweful depression, he stops writing and vows never to become so attached to one person again. After several years, however, Nicholas comes to terms with what happened by telling the story in the form of a book, which he publishes in his own way to bury the hatchet with himself. The play ends with Nicholas sitting in a cafe and meeting a nice young woman who reminds him of his old love, even to the point that she says exact phrases that Alice said when she was alive. He switches seats to move closer to her and begins an in-depth conversation. The curtain goes down.
I've decided the reason for the name of the play, as well. "A heart for any fate" is a part of an old english poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Alice uses this line to describe to Nicholas why he pretends to be other people, saying that "to have a heart for any fate is to be able to accept your future and your destiny, no matter what it may be." The young girl in the cafe at the end mentions this same line from the same poem, which is what gets the writer to move closer to her.
