YOU CAN CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS BUT YOU CAN'T CHOOSE YOUR MOTHER-IN-LAW.
Electra and Adam are living proof that opposites attract.
Electra is warm, passionate and creative. She wants to have a baby.
Adam is calm, reasonable and very English. He doesn't.
Enter the mother-in-law...
Cold, critical and snobbish, she disapproves of her son's marriage.
And then she moves in with them.
Will their relationship survive?
A darkly funny, insightful and cautionary tale that will make you question where your loyalties lie.
