Pretzels For Dinner

    by Janet Shaw

Synopsis

A bitter-sweet comedy looking at life through the eyes of Annie Johnson. Married to Bill for thirty-five years, the highlight of her life is her weekly shop at Asda.

She has devoted her adult life to being a wife and a mother, and then suddenly, after his death she finds herself to be a woman on her own. She realises that she has forgotten how to be herself, forgotten her dreams and mislaid her ambitions, but with help (or hindrance) from her nosey next-door neighbour Hilary, she starts to re-build her life.

Husband Bill, although gone, is not going to let her get on with her life, without trying to interfere for one last time.
