        Two hilarious one act plays.

        Bonking James Bond

        A warm-hearted comedy about Betty who, having just discovered her husband is having an affair, will do anything to save her marriage even if it means dipping into fantasy and enlisting the help of a secret agent. By the end of the play, she has developed self-esteem and strength and realises that she doesn't need her marriage in order to be happy.  

        A tale of a disillusioned housewife’s discovery that her husband of 20 years is unfaithful—what to do? …the answer ….. create a fantasy lover. A lover that calls her on the phone, sends her flowers. Make him jealous. That should do the trick.
        This play won the 2010 Playwrights Assn. of N.Z. one act play competition. It’s funny, it’s witty

        Snip

        Frank’s wife wants him to have a vasectomy. His life won’t be worth living unless he gets the snip. What would a real man do? What would The Godfather do? Badda bing, badda boom, this sharp comedy will have you in stitches!

        Snip is a tale about Frank and Jenny, a married couple, with a difference of opinion about sex. Frank is desperate for some, but Jenny has had enough of carrying the responsibility for contraception. The solution, to Jenny, at least, is obvious: it's time Frank got.... The Snip! Frank is somewhat less keen, and needs some persuasion, from no less a figure than the godfather. Will Frank do the honourable thing?

        Bonking James Bond is about another married couple, Betty the desperate, and Jeffrey of the mid-life crisis. And between them, they manage to end up in a confusion of relationships. But Betty is looking not for a mere man, no, Betty wants no less a man than James, James Bond. But somehow Jeffrey cant help but get embroiled in Betty's carryings on...
