Jayne is newly retired and disappointed with her life. She's in danger of becoming her daughter's babysitting service, and is desperate to make a change. When she meets a handsome stranger in the park – and an opportunity to do something for herself arises – can Jayne allow herself a second chance at happiness?
Matt Hartley's play The Wife of Cyncoed is a charming and open-hearted play about self-discovery later in life. It premiered at Sherman Theatre, Cardiff, in 2024, and provides gloriously entertaining opportunities for a mature solo performer.
Note to Performers: the play is set in Cardiff, but it could be relocated to another UK city (other than London). In which case, the title should be changed accordingly. Cyncoed is an affluent suburb of Cardiff, as Clifton is to Bristol, Dore is to Sheffield, Hale is to Manchester etc.
The Wife of Cyncoed is also available in the volume The Wife of Cyncoed & Idyll: Two Plays.
'Ah, isn't it so sweet, I bet they say. I tell you what, girls, there's times when there is nothing sweet about what we get up to, oh no. We are animals.'
'Scorching... a rare gem that provokes, moves and titillates... strikingly observant and well written... a fun, deeply sensual tale of dormant desire finally freed... refreshingly raunchy'
The Stage'A tour de force that manages to be both entertaining and poignant'
