Synopsis

Two of the best short plays about marriage in a single show! In How He Lied to Her Husband, find out what a man will do for the lady he loves — and how unexpected the consequences can be. In The Man of Destiny, Napoleon must defend his wife’s honour … but can he? This comedy double-bill about the hitches of being hitched crackles with humour and honesty.
