George, believing he has a happy marriage, is shattered to be told by Linda, his wife of 18 years that she is going to leave him. With advice from their son, his father, and Roger from next door, George takes drastic steps to rejuvenate his marriage with hilarious consequences.
Wife Begins At Forty premiered in the West End in 1985 and is a delightful mixture of comedy and pathos. A 1988 TV adaptation starred Liza Goddard and Ray Cooney.
OUR VERDICT
"Haven't laughed this much in a theatre comedy production for a long time. I was thoroughly engaged throughout the whole show due to its witty script and outstanding performances by the cast. Adults of any age would relate to at least one of the characters in the show despite the show based on a central plot of a married couple going through a crisis. The last half hour was utterly rib-tickling and created constant roars of laughter. From start to finish, it was a couple of hours well spent and highly recommend."
