The Five Wives of Maurice Pinder
Cottesloe, National Theatre, London from 13th June to 24th October 2007
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.

"Clare Holman as the feisty Fay and
Adam Gillen as her understandably mixed-up son also give striking performances,
and Larry Lamb as the south London pasha blends patriarchal concern and
outrageous self-centredness"
