A Fox in the Henhouse
Blurb
A Fox in the Henhouse is a biting love story about two sisters in their seventies: one who divorced the man of her nightmares some decades ago, and the other who just slept with him. What starts out as door-slamming comedy ultimately reveals a bond between husband and wife that has not diminished. As a finalist at Dayton Ohio’s Futurefest, Broadway Radio’s Peter Filichia wrote: “…destined to be produced from sea to shining Seattle. The story of two sisters who find that sisterly love is just as valuable as romantic love may not sound as if it would offer belly laugh after titanic belly laugh, but Kate Katcher’s witty and warm script will have theatergoers doing just that. In between, they’ll also be wiping occasional emotional tears from their eyes. Here’s the quintessential audience pleaser that will still be performed when Justin Bieber files for Social Security.”
