ABOUT THE PLAY

Finding one true soulmate is fortunate.
Finding two, life becomes complicated.

Meet husband and wife, Simon and Carey - the perfect couple. He has some news to share, but she gets in first with a jar. The swearing has to stop. They're having a baby!

When Carey enlists the help of a new musician friend to throw a birthday concert for her husband we discover life-changing secrets of their past.
