Capgras Theatre CompanyProfessional company

65 minutesFront Room
What if you could build the perfect partner from scratch? When Lauren's husband dies, the young widow stumbles upon an unsettling solution to her loneliness – one that involves moulding someone to her exact specifications. But as her desires grow increasingly specific and strange, the facade starts crumbling. Inspired by the absurd humour of Yorgos Lanthimos and the power games of Harold Pinter, Strangewife is a darkly comic two-hander exploring identity, power and love in a world where every aspect of our lives is under threat of commodification.
