The cast

 

The way I look at it, we all marry the wrong people. Not much you can do about it really. I remember when I went to ask Edward if he’d mind if I took one of his daughters off his hands, he said –“well you’ve a choice of three evils.” Too late to do a swap, isn’t it?
Three couples come together for a wedding anniversary; each couple seems generally unsuited. During the course of the evening’s events and at the end of each act, the partners change while retaining their original characters. The final scene sees all variants of the relationships mixed together and on stage. Throughout this, there runs a sub-plot of the couples trying to discover whether their father is out to kill their mother.
