Kenneth and Hillary have been married for nearly 20 years, but as middle age encroaches Kenneth finds himself in the arms of another woman. At first Laura seems to represent everything that is missing from Kenneths life with Hillary, but his little fling quickly becomes desperately out of hand and his world a spiral of lies and deceit. After his initial denials Kenneth is forced to confront the truth and leaves Hillary for Laura.
Only one little problemÂ…..Laura canÂ’t cook. As time goes by Kenneth mourns the loss of Sunday roasts and haute cuisine and the comforts of a settled life. He begins sneaking back to Hillarys house for the pleasures of her culinary skills, and when Hillary invites Kenneth and Laura over for dinner together he readily accepts, unaware of the delicacies Hillary has on the menu.
Told through a series of flashbacks interspersed with the ‘last supper’, ‘The Woman Who Cooked Her Husband’ is a highly entertaining exploration of jealousy, humiliation, deceit and betrayal which gives an entirely new meaning to the old adage ‘The way to a mans heart is through his stomach’
WARNING - This is an ADULTS ONLY play - contains full nudity and sex scenes
Performances on 27th & 28th at Kwinana
