This perceptive and comical play by Frank Vickery revolves around Gareth and Shirley’s wedding day, which does not get off to an auspicious start. Gareth, egged on by his cocky, good-looking brother Kenneth, has a post-stag-night hangover so bad that he can barely speak, the bride is three months pregnant and Grandad, confused after getting stuck in the outside loo, is unsure whether Shirley is marrying Gareth or Kenneth.
Things do not improve after the wedding when Gareth overhears his bride getting rather intimate with Kenneth (apparently not for the first time). Over the next few months relations are somewhat strained between Gareth, Shirley and Kenneth until, on the night the baby is born, Kenneth overhears something which will shatter his life!
