The Woman Who Cooked Her Husband
Tuesday 29th January
19:00 - 22:00
St Pauls Hall,
Upton Cross
Kenneth and Hilary have been married nearly twenty years, but as middle age encroaches, Kenneth finds himself in the arms of another woman. But his little fling quickly becomes desperately out of hand and his world a spiral of lies and deceit. Told through a series of flashbacks, The Woman Who Cooked Her Husband is a highly entertaining exploration of jealousy, humiliation and betrayal which gives an entirely new meaning to the old adage, "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach!"
This wickedly dark and humorous play will be performed in the Sterts Studio for five performances between Thursday 6th and Tuesday 11th June, and auditions are open to anyone over the age of 18
Rehearsals are scheduled for Tuesdays 7-10pm.
