From June 10 to 20 the satirical comedy The Woman who Cooked her Husband takes centre stage.

Writen by Debbie Isitt and directed by Tara Haywood, this intriguing play is a dark stylised and satirical comedy about a love triangle, served with a generous helping of wit.

It’s a quirky tale of the way people interact in relationships. The author is BAFTA and EMMY award-winner Isitt , who uses the twin media of food and sex, so loads of laughter is inevitable.

Just one example of Debbie’s work is the success of her major box office series of three Nativity movies, staring the likes of David Tennant and Martin Freeman.

Add to this a great cast and a seasoned director such as Tara Haywood and you couldn’t have more reasons to see this play.

Tara has directed many memorable plays at WLT, such as the much-loved, Kes, Salt of the Earth and Albert Nobbs.

She’s also in much demand as an actress, and recently been in Ladies who Lunch as well as the hugely successful Di, Viv and Ros, and Sheila’s Island.

Tara said: “I can’t wait for people to see this production.

“It’s been a joy to direct, and I couldn’t wish for a finer cast.

“We don’t want to give any spoilers but do please book a seat and see the story unfold.

“You won’t regret it!”
