A phone, a strudel and Franz Kafka combine to make Jack and Millie's day rather complicated.

Jeremy Front's comedy about an older couple getting to grips with a French daughter-in-law, gassy beer, Eye-Closing Leon and a married lifetime's-worth of verbal sparring.

Starring Jeremy Front and Rebecca Front.

So Millie's son Melvin has given her a new tablet with a voice recorder?

Suddenly Jack and Millie have decided to record everything that happens to them? And for this, we should be grateful?

Well yes! Because this is a comedy written by Jeremy Front (writer of the BBC's Charles Paris mysteries) about a Jack and Millie Lemman who are fully engaged with contemporary life whilst at war with the absurdities of the modern world.
