Title: The Woman Who Cooked Her Husband Presented By: Sandgate Theatre Inc. Genre: Dark Comedy Synopsis: Kenneth and Hilary have been married for twenty years. Life is safe, comfortable, and painfully routine — until Kenneth decides to trade his marriage for a younger, shinier option in Laura. What follows is a sharp, witty, and increasingly absurd examination of relationships, fidelity, and revenge, culminating in a dinner party that takes the concept of “just desserts” to a whole new level. Debbie Isitt’s hit comedy serves up love, jealousy, and the darker side of human nature with deliciously biting humour.
