The Shoemaker's Incredible Wife archiveThe play tells the story of a combustible young woman and a staid old man, locked together in a marriage of tragicomic misery. Eventually, the husband can bear his besieged life no longer and heeds his wife's apparently heartfelt wish that he should leave her. But with her husband departed, the young wife performs an astonishing volte face, and apparently discovers a hitherto unimaginable depth of feeling for the absent man. She holds off a variety of suitors and keeps the flame of marital memory burning bright, until one day, a travelling puppet show arrives in the village, with a puppeteer who bears a striking resemblance to her long-lost husband...
