Love and Marriage
T0
Bill is just one of those guys. Women adore him. Men are jealous of him. He s a sly dog as far as members of the opposite sex are concerned. But how long can his luck hold out? Bill is a serial philanderer, a golf-playing dentist whose shenanigans with younger women means he lies to his long-suffering wife every day of his life. Trouble is, he asks his friend Tony to tell lies for him too, to cover for him. "All my life I ve had one motto in marriage: If you re going to do it, Bill, do it and shut up. What the eye doesn t see, the heart doesn t grieve over." Meanwhile his mate Tony is having a mid-life crisis of his own. Frustrated by getting to the age of - let s say 45 - he has a dead-end job, a mortgage, kids at university, and plenty of unfulfilled ambition. However, his wife Ruth seems quite contented - or is she? "How did I get to be over the hill? I was climbing it five minutes ago!" A comedy with a serious undercurrent about the futility of middle-age romance,
Love and Marriage comes from the pen of the late Donald Churchill, author of numerous West End hits of the eighties.
