A reading of a play about three wives who want to kill their husbands and get the chance to do it.
Take three delicious, malicious wives, add three unloving husbands, and chill. Nicky, Debra and Molly have tolerated one another during dinners for years. While their spouses play golf in the dining room, the women exchange confidences for the first time. When the men find themselves in trouble downstairs, the women are faced with a life-or-death decision.
Runtime: 85 minutes without an intermission.
