Pretzels for Dinner by Janet Shaw (Comedy)

Bill liked three things: the racing, a pint and getting his own way. Anne liked a tidy house. After thirty-five years of marriage, it worked well enough. Then one Saturday afternoon, Bill’s horse came in and Bill went out, permanently, still clutching his betting slip.

Now Anne has a drawer full of unopened bills, no idea where Bill kept his money, and two grown-up children who would rather argue about the will than wash a cup. Auntie Irene is circling. And Hilary from next door, a woman who has never met a feather boa she didn’t like, has made Anne her latest project.

When Anne starts living for herself, and spending time with a much younger classmate called Tom, nobody quite knows what to make of it. Least of all Anne.

Pretzels For Dinner is a bitter sweet comedy by Janet Shaw. It is rude, warm, and very funny, with plenty of heart. Please note the play contains strong language and adult humour, and is suitable for adults only.

Directed by Jacqui Whiteley.
