"My Wife Fell In Love With A Life Size Cardboard Cut-out of Ronan Keating." By PT Rose.
Every generation throws a hero up the pop charts and Ronan Keating is Sally’s number one idol – and she is his biggest fan.
The day she brought home a full sized cardboard cutout of the Boyzone Front Man was the beginning of the end of her relationships with her daughter, her mother, her grand mother and her live-in boyfriend who incidentally works as a part time clown at kid’s parties since he lost his job as a baker in Tescos.
While Sally hums the day through to the hits of Ronan, her mother (Doreen) and grandmother (Pearl) battle over the merits of Bowie against Presley and while her daughter (Philippa) has her own tussle with gender identity, Buddhism and eating fads.
Her ex-husband (Joe), a recent convert to Islam pops up to offer his views on fate while an Elvis impersonator takes notes, all under the gaze of the ever watchful but silent Ronan.
The script features adult themes, language, misplaced loyalty, shallow celebrity culture and delusion.
