“If you woke up tomorrow to find you weren’t married to us, you’d be in for a few big surprises.”
Three couples, highly respected pillars of the Yorkshire community, gather to celebrate their joint silver wedding anniversaries. It's champagne toasts all round until their evening of pride and self-satisfaction is upended by an unexpected and deeply embarrassing revelation.
As scandal turns to farce, the couples are forced to confront long-buried truths, simmering resentments and the liberating possibility of starting over.
The production is directed by Tim Sheader, with set design by Peter McKintosh, costumes by Anna Fleischle, lighting by Ryan Day, sound by Fergus O'Hare, music by Will Stuart, voice coaching by Barbara Houseman, dialect coaching by Natalie Grady, and casting by Lotte Hines CDG.
