Jake is a writer, currently suffering both a writer's block and a marriage crisis! In his imagination he summons up the women in his life, there's his current wife, Maggie,(Vanessa Harding) his daughter Molly (Nicola Ward as Molly at 20, and Amelia McLaughlin-Jones or Ashleigh Zinko as 12 year old Molly) His bossy sister Karen (Gail Lusted) his revered dead first wife Julie (Olivia Darby)his counsellor Edith (Ann Speicher) and his would-be third wife Sheila (Siobhan Donald) However they take over the action and from being figments of Jake's imagination they develop lives of their own! This play flashes back and forth between now and then and we experience Neil Simon at his best, uncovering truths, touching our hearts and making us laugh...always making us laugh. Sunday June 1st is a Matinee performance at 2 pm NOTE: Friday June 13th performance not available to general public, theatre is booked for a charity show.
