After twenty-one years of marriage, James Beale walks out on his wife, Molly. She is devastated and after four months of being alone, she has reached rock bottom. Her best friend, Fiona, persuades her to try the “six-step miracle cure” for abandoned wives. The idea being, on completion, she will be guaranteed to get her life back together.

Molly agrees and finds that it works. Not only does her husband want to come back, but she has two other suitors vying for her affection. The twists and turns, the intrigues, the misunderstandings on her road to recovery, all add up to a hilarious evening’s entertainment.

As we have been in the Co-operative Theatre for 30 years and, as with everything, as it gets older it starts to show signs of wear and tear. So our current stage floor is now in need of a major overhaul, we fear it may not last till the end of the year. Due to this we have launched a 'Save our Stage' (SoS) campaign.

After all - WHAT IS A THEATRE WITHOUT ITS STAGE?

To help raise the much needed funds the Wheatsheaf Players fund raising committee will be holding local events to raise as much money as possible to be able to buy the much needed stage, which we estimate will cost in the region of £16,000 which is money we simply do not have.

In order to raise this money it is all hands to the pump at the theatre.  Some of the things we have already done are:

• - We recently entered a team in our second Coventry Fun Run and had a fabulous morning running (and walking) round various parts of the City in various costumes.
• - We've held several quiz nights so far and they are now be a regular feature at the theatre.
• - We had a stall at the Coventry Transport museum Cycling festival giving people the chance to enter a competition to win a folding bike.
• - We had a stall at the Leofric Lions Donkey Derby

We have many new events we have in the pipe line. These include:

• - Supermarket bag packs
• - Carol singing
