Details

Bill is just one of those guys. Women adore him. Men are jealous of him. He s a sly dog as far as members of the opposite sex are concerned. But how long can his luck hold out? Bill is a serial philanderer, a golf-playing dentist whose shenanigans with younger women means he lies to his long-suffering wife every day of his life. Trouble is, he asks his friend Tony to tell lies for him too, to cover for him. "All my life I ve had one motto in marriage: If you re going to do it, Bill, do it and shut up. What the eye doesn t see, the heart doesn t grieve over." Meanwhile his mate Tony is having a mid-life crisis of his own. Frustrated by getting to the age of - let s say 45 - he has a dead-end job, a mortgage, kids at university, and plenty of unfulfilled ambition. However, his wife Ruth seems quite contented - or is she? "How did I get to be over the hill? I was climbing it five minutes ago!" A comedy with a serious undercurrent about the futility of middle-age romance, Love and Marriage comes from the pen of the late Donald Churchill, author of numerous West End hits of the eighties. Adam Faith died on Saturday March 8th 2003. The remaining dates on the tour of Love and Marriage will go ahead with Adam Faith's understudy taking the part of Bill.
