Synopsis
A lovely wife, a beautiful daughter, and the soft hum of lawnmowers.... But when Tim meets neighbour, Nigel, he begins to suspect that all is not as it seems in the Cul-de-sac....Who is the mysterious Tony Devereux, and what is Nigel’s strange attraction to him? Can Dr Cole cure Nigel’s uncontrollable urges? Not to mention his own.... This brilliant spin on Stepford Wives is an irresistibly twisted tale of ordinary men, women, and their dogs. An absurdly talented comic cast bring you spine-chilling, rib-tickling, curtain-twitching delights.
Our Review:
8 December 2012
Welcome to The Cul-De-Sac. Here, cars are parked on drives or in garages, not on the street. Here, there are no garish Christmas decorations on the outside of houses. Here, you are safe. Or are you?
Written by stand-up comedian Matthew Osborn, this Stepford Wives-esque piece tells a tale of outwardly respectable but inwardly twisted modern suburbia. Newcomer Tim (Alan Francis) is greeted by his neighbour Nigel (Mike Hayley), a stalwart of the street who explains that there are standards to maintain, and who will seemingly defend those standards to the death – perhaps even literally.
The dark underbelly of life in the Cul-De-Sac is quickly revealed. Dr. Cole (a smilingly sinister Julian Dutton) is far more interested in his golf handicap, embroidery or playing chess than in the physical or emotional ailments of his patients. He hands out prescriptions that are at best unconventional and at worst downright psychopathic.
We learn that ...
