The Five Wives of Maurice Pinder
a new play by Matt Charman
You can't just make up ceremonies and live this way. A family is a man and a woman and a child or two – or more – but it's a man and a woman and it certainly isn't this.No family photograph can truly prepare Rowena for her first meeting with Maurice's three wives and teenaged son. Young, nervous and extremely pregnant, she is warmly welcomed into the fold but her presence soon has the family questioning the nature of their delicate balance. Then Fay brings home a one-night stand, with far-reaching consequences for them all.
Set in an ordinary house in a tree-lined street in Lewisham, Matt Charman's The Five Wives of Maurice Pinder takes a provocative look at married life, and the alternatives.
