MISS INDEPENDENT – ONE ACT COMEDY ABOUT WHAT NOT TO DO WHEN YOUR MARRIAGE GOES DOWN THE TOILET

One act comedy play script about divorce and what not to do when your marriage falls apart. An errant husband’s yoga instructor girlfriend, aptly named ‘Çhristmas’ manipulates the husband into divorcing his wife, the wife’s subsequent disintegration into the classic stages of anger (cured by throwing his stuff out the house), depression (cured by fried chicken) and toyboying (cured by ‘Malcolm’) and her gradual rehabilitation with the love of her son. Nice subtext of the female mid-life crisis.
