The Other Woman was the joint runner-up in the 2021 Titchfield Festival Theatre Playwriting Competition and continues TFT’s 2023 New Play Season, opening on 23 January.

Wally is happily married to his wife Christine. He is musical director of the immensely popular radio programme The Goon Show and has composed the theme to Hancock’s Half Hour. He is successful. Wally has though a secret - there is another woman in his life. Over twenty years we see how this other woman affects the lives of this loving and devoted couple.

Emma Bevan is director of The Other Woman:

“The Other Woman is an interesting story based on a real person, beautifully written by playwright Ben Mead. In this play, there are moments of humour, drama and possibly a few tears.

“There are two characters: Wally Stott and his wife Christine. Wally is a very talented band leader, musician and arranger. They are very much in love and whilst she is supportive, Christine has her own life away from Wally's showbiz lifestyle. This allows Wally time and opportunity to explore parts of his life he has kept secret from his wife. Whilst the story is based on the life of Wally, this play is very much about them both and shows how Christine has to face her own prejudice and challenges.”

The Other Woman begins in 1958 and spans a period of nearly 18 years. It explores the issues and difficulties faced by someone who decides to become who they really are, who they have been keeping hidden for many years and remains relevant today.

Come along to watch a play which has it all: tenderness, tears, warmth and drama. From 23 January to 28 January 2023.
