Wife Begins At Forty

This delightful comedy was given its first highly successful production by Ray Cooney's Theatre of Comedy Company back in 1985.

Therefore this is now the official 25th Anniversary production.

It seems that, for some people, forty is a rather traumatic age. For Linda Harper, it certainly appears to be, as she starts worrying three years before her fortieth birthday. She is dissatisfied spiritually and physically with her seventeen-year marriage to the slightly staid George.

However following a drunken night, during which George recounts passionate stories involving a flamenco dancer from the top of a grand piano, Linda decides to leave but in fact, it is George who moves out, giving Linda a chance to “find herself” through a variety of courses including aerobics and sculpting.

When George returns to the family home, without his 'crown jewels', a few weeks later to sort out maintenance arrangements with the help of neighbours Roger and Betty, he and Linda discover that the flames of passion are not quite dead, albeit in need of a little fanning!

Accompanied by the Central Band of the Royal Air Force, Linda helps George to put the ex back into sex.

This production stars Vicki Michelle ('Allo 'Allo) and Trevor Bannister (Are You Being Served and Last of the Summer Wine). Joining them will be Mark Curry (Blue Peter) playing George.
