Tom and Trish have just celebrated their Silver Wedding Anniversary. But what happens when Tom wakes up with a strange woman beside him and she tells him she’s his wife? And what does Trish do when she realises the person she loves is losing his mind?
Faced with life-changing challenges, Trish has to make a choice. Which she does, armed only with humour, music and love.

Henderson and Nolan have such natural chemistry that, like Trish, we are smiling through tears for much of the show. An acutely observed piece inspired by Henderson’s family experience, this has an authentic dignity which affirms that love and good humour can coexist with heartbreak. Sunday Times
