Short synopsis
- Synopsis
- Characters
When you’ve never been good at relationships and you always felt awkward around the opposite sex imagine your delight when you find the right person. An ideal marriage, a supportive family and friends… what more could you need? That is, until some cracks begin to appear, and then you notice the faults in your relationship.
Something has changed, but what? It obviously can’t be you, you have always been the same, it has to be the other person. When the one person you would turn to in this situation is the person you have problems with, then who else can you ask: parents, friends, colleagues? And just how impartial might their advice to you be?
This is a play about insecurities, flattery, jealousy and just how wrong things can go when you stop communicating with those you love. It’s a domestic drama with tragic consequences. It’s a play for five people with a simple living room set; a compact play with lots of tension and emotion that will have you on the edge of your seat.
This play was first performed by Moon in the Sky Theatre in 2009 with a tour of five venues in the North East. It works particularly well in small venues.

Frequently asked questions
Can we try before we buy?
Of course! All our plays and pantomimes have a free Preview Script available for download as an A4 pdf file that contains 60-75% of the full script. If you like what you read then you can buy an inexpensive e-script of the entire play (typically less than half the cost of a traditional printed script) which is licensed to you for your personal use. Purchasing a script copying licence allows you to make just enough copies to support rehearsals and performances.
All our musicals are included in our perusal service. Through this, representatives of producing organisations can request a USB Stick of perusal material which comprise the script/libretto and piano/vocal score as PDF files; a Cast (or Studio) Recording as MP3 files and (where available) an MP4 file video of either the premiere production or of a subsequent production.
Some titles have the facility to read the entire script online on our website.
Do we need a Licence To Perform?
The simple answer is, yes.
Under the international laws of copyright, you must be in possession of a valid, unexpired licence before performing any piece of theatre unless the owner or managers of the copyright has waived their rights.
Why do you insist on providing a formal royalties quotation?
When you request a quotation, it is logged in our system, it forms part of an orderly queue and protects your place in that queue should multiple licensing requests occur for the same show.
