Oh what a tangled web we weave, we first we practise to deceive….

ILT's latest production, The Maintenance Man by Richard Harris, takes a new look at the breakdown of a marriage and the development and decay of an affair. Bob and Chris's marriage has already sunk to the level of constant bickering and recriminations when Bob meets Diana, and it is not long before he has transferred his affections (and box of tools) to her house. For Bob is a do-it-yourself enthusiast, a compulsive handyman with a longing to be needed. Even after he is divorced from Chris he constantly returns to his former home, until Diana begins to resent having to face competition for his time from both his children and his Black & Decker and it seems that Bob's relationship with Diana is heading down the same path to domestic disaster... this witty and astute comedy with many too close for comfort lines, takes a new look at an actual triangle.

Come along and witness the incorrigible Bob tangle himself up in knots reeling from a decaying marriage and a blossoming affair whilst trying to use his tools to patch up more than just shelves...
