Synopsis

The play centres on two women, Jane and Catherine who are married to the same man, now deceased.

There’s never a dull moment as the women embark on an adventure based around their antique-cluttered house, several unpaid bills, and no source of income. Apart from trying not to drive each other insane, they run into several mishaps with wily antique dealers, many creditors, and another woman impersonating a third wife of the deceased.
