OBSERVER: A Couple Decides What To Have For Dinner
Writer/Producer/Director James Hazelden presents A Couple Decides What to Have for Dinner at The Butterfly Club, Melbourne from March 24 -30 as part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
James says he had to clear the script with his spouse before he showed anyone else. “I knew that when my wife came along she would immediately recognise the exact conversations we have had before.
“And other people have told me the same thing,” says James. In fact, the moment anyone just hears the title of the show, they immediately understand the universal themes of the play and start telling me their own horror stories of trying to make those small, daily decisions together while in a relationship.”
A married couple sits on a couch and tries to decide what to have for dinner. “For 50 ridiculous, stupid, hilarious minutes. Which is shorter than in real life, but that’s all the time we have.”
The show is said to be “a perfect date for new couples, old couples and smug groups of single people”.
