The Woman Who Cooked Her Husband

THE PLAY

Kenneth and Hilary have been married nearly twenty years, but as middle age approaches, Kenneth finds himself in the arms of another woman.  At first, Laura seems to be  everything that is missing from Kenneth’s life with Hilary, 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 soon forced to confront the truth and leaves Hilary for Laura.

Only one little problem…...Laura can’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 Hilary’s house for the pleasures of her culinary skills, and when Hilary invites Kenneth and Laura over for dinner    together, he readily accepts—unaware of what delicacies Hilary has on the menu.
