The Swearing Jar

di Kate Hewlett (Autore)

Samuel French Ltd, 2022

Meet Carey and Simon an otherwise-perfect married couple with a bit of a swearing problem. They're determined to kick the habit by the time their baby is born. Too bad that's not their only problem. Simon has a secret. And Carey has a new friend - a musician named Owen that she met at a bookstore. With quirky characters music and gentle humor this lovely and intricately-constructed story is about meeting challenges head-on and finding hope. "Intricate delicate construction... Hewlett spins an emotionally epic story about a woman caught between two men as well as her own inability to cope with life's gains and losses." - Matthew Murray Talkin' Broadway "A pleasure to see... Hewlett's writing has a gentle wittiness... With an exquisitely light touch Hewlett creates snapshots of the happy lives of Carey and her husband Simon moving seamlessly between present day and three years before." - Backstage "Some of the play's best moments are the songs Ms. Hewlett sings describing the depths of Carey's devotion to Simon." - The New York Times
